Tyte Gallery is pleased to present Architecture of Awareness, a solo exhibition by New York-based artist and architect Seth Howe. Bringing together sculpture, works on paper, and video, the exhibition centers on a unique body of work that Howe describes as instruments for seeing, objects expressly designed to encourage viewers to become more aware of the act of perception itself.

Drawing deeply from architecture, phenomenology, and metaphysical inquiry, Howe approaches seeing not as passive observation, but as an active process through which meaning is constructed. Rather than functioning as mere representations of the world, his geometric constructions from the Stack Series operate as advanced seeing devices. Through carefully calibrated relationships of form, color, scale, and space, these works encourage a heightened awareness of how vision actively structures our experience.

Seth Howe: At the Still Point of the Turning World

An essay by Michael Wilson

“Howe’s sculptures are meant to be looked through and even around rather than simply at. They are filters for our vision, not stopping points, and address sight as a conscious act rather than functioning as a steppingstone to separate or isolated metaphors or meanings.”
