Keith Tyson
Head to Hand

“Often, the process requires trying to find a suitable structure to capture a complex idea…a map of the entire universe as an architectural structure, an 11-dimensional space, the world as it would have been if one little thing had been different, an algorithm for creating art proposals. . .”- Keith Tyson.

Head to Hand represents a survey of Tyson’s drawings from the late 1990s to 2001. It includes both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an idea that has been already mentally charted, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and in unanticipated directions. Though most artists use drawing as a means of transforming mental thought into a physical manifestations, the scope of Tyson’s use of drawing to define areas of investigation is uniquely adventurous and ambitious.

Tyson has exhibited internationally. He was the recipient of the prestigious Turner Prize in 2002.
