Hurly-burly realised the artists Phyllida Barlow, Rachel Whiteread and Alison Wilding's long-standing desire to collaborate on a sculpture exhibition.
Hurly-burly featured several works by each artist, providing viewers with a rare opportunity to compare their diverse but interconnected approaches. It was presented not as a conversation between the works themselves, but rather as a record of an ongoing exchange between the personalities and visions behind them. None of the artists saw or discussed what the others were making during the run-up to the exhibition.
