Hamad Butt: Apprehensions is the first retrospective exhibition of the work of pioneering artist Hamad Butt (1962-1994) organised by IMMA and Whitechapel Gallery, London. Hamad Butt’s work is poignant and severe, emotive yet austere. Born in Lahore, Pakistan, and raised in London, he was British South Asian, Muslim, and queer. Before his AIDS-related death in 1994, aged 32, Butt completed and showed four key sculptural installations and left behind writings, drawings, paintings, and plans for new installations. This is the first time his work will be shown outside of the UK.
