Exhibition Description
To Improvise a Mountain: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Curates presents an exhibition conceived through the lens of Yiadom-Boakye’s expansive artistic and literary practice. Known for her enigmatic figurative paintings and her engagement with language and storytelling, Yiadom-Boakye brings together works that emphasize mood, atmosphere, and the possibilities of visual improvisation. The exhibition title suggests a generative act—improvisation as both construction and discovery. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, the exhibition invites viewers into a space of association and reflection, where works converse across different contexts. Through careful selection and arrangement, Yiadom-Boakye highlights affinities between artists and mediums, revealing shared concerns with perception, memory, and the poetic potential of form. Presented at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, To Improvise a Mountain underscores the role of the artist-curator in shaping dialogue and expanding institutional frameworks. The exhibition runs through 25 January 2026.
