Emily Speed

A recent solo show at Tate Liverpool, Flatland, has just closed. Over the last few years, she has had a solo presentation at Tate St Ives, TRUCK, Calgary and has presented a major new commission at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas. Other recent exhibitions include Phoenix Exeter, Plymouth Art Centre, Oredaria Gallery, Rome; Laumeier Sculpture Park, St Louis, USA; Danielle Arnaud Gallery, London; Bluecoat, Liverpool; Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, Switzerland.
