Nathaniel Rackowe graduated with an MA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 2001. Recent shows have been held at BISCHOFF/WEISS, London, Almine Rech gallery, Paris and Anderson Gallery MOCA, Miami.
Nathaniel Rackowe makes large-scale works that animate architectural spaces and transform viewers into active participants. City landscapes, urban development and suburban chaos have established a relative dominance in Rackowe’s work. His sculptures explore the boundaries of physical space and movement, casting light about their perimeters like a search beacon. Made of low-tech 'functional' materials, the works expose otherwise unseen dimensions, visual and temporal, activating and giving physical form to the 'in-between' space that they inhabit.
