Adventures of the Black Square: Abstract Art and Society 1915-2015

Thu Jan 15 2015 - Thu Apr 16 2015. Whitechapel Gallery, 77-82 Whitechapel High St, E1 7QX

Picking up where Tate Modern’s tremendous 2014 Malevich exhibition left off, this international show looks at the legacy of the Russian artist’s suprematist black square paintings and how abstraction has been used to channel political ideas over the past 100 years. If that sounds like hard work, don’t be deterred. With paintings, sculptures, films and photographs by Piet Mondrian, Eva Hesse and Isa Genzken on display, the show looks set to be as beautiful as it is brainy.
