Barry Flanagan: Film Screening
-
To celebrate the ongoing exhibition of work by Barry Flanagan in the Kasmin Sculpture Garden, Kasmin will be screening three of Flanagan's film works exploring the artist's pataphysical philosophy—or “the science of imaginary solutions,” a concept formulated by the French playwright and author Alfred Jarry.
Though best known for his bronze hare sculptures, Flanagan worked across a diverse range of media. In 1968, he began experimenting with film and the effects of light projection. A trio of his avant-garde films from the period including a hole in the sea (1969), sandgirl (1970), and bollards project (1970) will be available to the public from December 8–13 on the gallery's Vimeo Showcase page. This screening is hosted as part of Kasmin/Verso, a multimedia editorial series that aims to offer deeper insight into the work and practice of the gallery artists.

About the Artist
Barry Flanagan
Barry Flanagan’s innumerable contributions to and achievements in the history of sculpture, as well as his selection as the representative of Britain at the 40th Venice Biennale in 1982 and his election to the Royal Academy of Arts and recognition with an OBE in 1991, substantiate his position as one of Britain’s most important and innovative sculptors. Born in Prestatyn, North Wales, in 1941, Flanagan studied architecture at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts and graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art in London on the Vocational Diploma in Sculpture in 1966, and he taught at St. Martin’s School of Art and the Central School of Arts and Crafts between 1967 and 1971.Learn More -

Helena Foster: Time Honoured featured in Plus Magazine
April 18, 2025Walking into Helena Foster’s “Time Honoured” at Kasmin, you’re met with a hush—a sacred quiet that wraps around each painting like breath held in contemplation. Though it marks the first solo show in New York for the London-based painter, Foster’s presence feels neither new nor foreign. Her work carries the gravity of ancestral memory, the lyricism of oral storytelling, and the immediacy of the present. Through her meticulous layering of oil on linen, paper, and vellum, she offers something rare: paintings that speak not in proclamations but in visual whispers—proverbs rendered in earth tones and radiant light. -
