Hew Locke's 'Passages' Exhibition Explores Themes of Movement and Memory

Hannah Hutchings-Georgiou has written about Hew Locke's artistic series titled 'Passages', which examines concepts of travel, recollection, and temporal flow. The installation features boat sculptures that appear buoyant and vividly hued, constructed from lightweight materials that evoke ethereal qualities. These works have been displayed in multiple venues internationally, including a church in England, a municipal building in Germany, and various exhibition spaces and private holdings across the globe. The article highlights Locke's ongoing investigation into how objects and ideas transition through space and history. The review provides insight into the artist's career trajectory and his consistent thematic focus on migration and cultural memory. The piece was published by ELEPHANT, an art publication that covers contemporary visual culture.
