About
REVIVER is Jakob Rowlinson’s first UK institutional project, presented as a solo exhibition at The Art House in Wakefield, and an installation, ROTATOR, in the main Centre at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, having developed from a 2024 collaborative residency between both organisations.
Spanning across the two venues, this new body of work weaves together complex material histories, explores the ecology of local landscape, and continues the artist’s interest in queering the archive.
Collaging found leather objects into quasi-historical forms, these new works combine contemporary and historical references, creating sculptures that seem to exist in no single time period, existing somewhere between past and present. By using garments and fashion items such as leather jackets, handbags, and men’s brogues, and integrating them into large leather hides embellished with marbled inks and a range of piercings and fittings, Rowlinson merges the sacred and the profane, drawing on religious and folkloric imagery – including angels, demons, and green men – alongside references to contemporary queer fashion and fetish culture.
