Conrad Shawcross: Shadows of the Mechanism at Victoria Miro, London — 26 Nov 2026–23 Jan 2027

Victoria Miro presents Shadows of the Mechanism, a solo exhibition by the London-born sculptor Conrad Shawcross RA. The show brings together Time Pebble, a major new series of luminous, perforated sculptures informed by cosmology and the physics of the early universe, and the largest presentation to date of his Slow Arc inside a Cube installations, in which a moving light casts shifting shadows across the gallery, accompanied by a soundscape commissioned from composer Edward Chilvers.
