More Really Shiny Things That Don’t Mean Anything

Ryan Gander at Lisson Gallery

I haven’t written in a while and I’m feeling apprehensive about it. Mainly because I love Ryan Gander’s work, and liked his new exhibition at the Lisson Gallery a lot; and because the Lisson itself to me is still a slightly clinical/cynical space with a supercilious commercial backbite.
Gander is in many ways the ideal kind of artist: conceptual without being obtuse, experimental with mode and media, appealing to the eyes and the brain. Though this exhibition, his second solo presentation... [more]

As the first part of a series of exhibitions devised by Elodie Royer and Yoann Gourmel, guest curators for the 2011-2012 season, the collective exhibition The Feeling of Things takes as its point of departure the work and spirit of the inventor, artist, designer, writer, illustrator, graphic designer and teacher, Bruno Munari, “a Peter Pan with the calibre of a Leonardo”, to borrow Pierre Restany’s words.
By shifting and developing, in everyday life, his continuous research into the circul... [more]

Ryan Gander project with Artangel

Ryan Gander at Artangel

It is a difficult job to critique something without describing it, and it’s difficult to describe Ryan Gander’s Locked Room Scenario without giving the game away; and the blind experience of this project, the latest offering from Artangel, is key to its understanding. And this is what is so wonderfully paradoxical about Gander’s latest concoction – knowledge will ruin the experience, but without it, you won’t be able to join up the dots.
It’s one of many interesting questions raised by this installation-performance-exhibition piece, housed in the rugged Londonewcastle depot. Artangel – with projects includin... [more]

Ryan Gander at Annet Gelink Gallery
April 2nd, 2011 - June 18th, 2011

Zurich Art Prize-winner Ryan Gander plays with a sort of pop-minimalism that is reminiscent of his fellow Englishman Martin Creed. The former, though, has a more direct and emotional connection to people - even if at times only in a figurative sense - rather than to things themselves. Gander's solo show at Annet Gelink exemplifies such polarity, with a conceptual approach that spans from a romantic re-reading of known figures to an iconoclastic negation of graphic detail. And, somehow, maintain... [more]

Modernist Squabble

Ryan Gander at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
October 1st, 2010 - January 9th, 2011

After surveying Ryan Gander’s Intervals exhibition in the Aye Simon Reading Room at the Guggenheim Museum, I proceeded to take a quick snapshot of the wall text, for later reference. The young security guard sitting in the corner nearby quickly admonished me, stating that it was copyrighted and therefore, I was not allowed. I asked him whether it was actually part of the installation, and as one might imagine, the most banal conversation of “is it art/is it not art” ensued. I wondered if h... [more]

This show is a lot more fun than the description would have you think. The large piece in the back room alone is worth a visit to the gallery. Two huge water-filled heavy glass tanks on tall pedestals each contain a miniature mountain range. The mountains are covered with minute air bubbles created when the tanks were filled with water. A bright light above each tank creates reflections of the mountains both within and between the two tanks, which means the piece expands and changes as yo... [more]

Having never been to the Royal Academy of Arts before I was alarmed at quite how unwelcoming the entrance and ticket room is; however, do persevere through the initial battle just to enter the gallery as what lies ahead is a real treat!
It is immediately clear that this season of exhibitions and performances is a vivacious accumulation of important artists that are intelligently expanding the parameters of the contemporary art scene. GSK Contemporary, Part 2: Collision Course is boisterous... [more]
