The opening solo exhibition of London based artist
Ryan Gander This “stuttering” exhibition in two parts is a chance to experience unseen work.
Blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, Ryan Gander assembles seemingly disparate objects, actions and texts to develop his own narrative systems. Installations, photographs, performances, publications and press inserts are his means of following up a train of thought concerning art's discursive potential and its transmission systems. Playing with different processes of revelation, apparition and disappearance, the works presented in his exhibition raise questions related to portraiture: how does one represent or define someone, particularly the figure of the artist (in the broad sense of the visual artist, writer, architect, town planner, designer, magician...), from his - real or imaginary - role in history and current society to his social representation and his private image. The worlds of art - their codes and their languages - are put into perspective with characters and stories invented by the artist. Ryan Gander's works moves between real and imaginary worlds. His practice, which makes extensive use of language and work with other artists, aims at « making the invisible visible » and providing the « possibility and preconditions for things to happen ».
