The primordial origins of the universe and the celluar processes of the body collide in the work of Len Lye. Amoebic shapes populate Lye's drawings, films, painting and sculpture from the 1920s to the 1970s. Gestating, absorbing and dividing, they reference our cosmic, psychological and biological development, linking notions of time (khronos) and the body (soma). Curated by Tyler Cann, Len Lye: Chronosome featured some of Lye's first and last works including Lye's first animated film Tusalava (1929) , a mythological narrative of the primordial beginnings of organic life. This catalogue, available at the Govett-Brewster Art and Design Shop features new writing by Len Lye Curator Tyler Cann.
