| LIAM GILLICK One long walk... Two short piers... 1 April – 8 August 2010 Press Conference: 31 March 2010, 11 a.m. Born 1964 in England, Liam Gillick – who emerged in the early 1990s – is one of the most prominent representatives of the development of conceptual art and one of the most influential artists of our time. In 2009 he was selected for the German Pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale. For the first time in Germany, The Art and Exhibition Hall in Bonn will present a comprehensive survey exhibition of Gillick‘s work. The exhibition will reveal the evolution of his practice through the presentation of key themes, works and installations. Over 60 works from nearly two decades will be presented. The exhibition will create a theoretical yet visually striking base from which to view the precision, continuity and beauty of his work. The visitor of the exhibition will be induced by the clarity of color and materials combined with brittle, brilliant views. A seductive poetry of words meets formal rigor and seriality. All this produces a game with light and reflection – both literal and historical. The work provokes fundamental questions about the possibilities and function of art in our social reality. The New York and London-based artist‘s work is not limited to a single artistic medium. His multifaceted practice plays an important role in providing a critical reflection of our aesthetic expectations. Liam Gillick has also produced an extensive body of critical writing, essays, reviews, fictional texts and more recently theatrical scenarios. Gillick creates exhibitions that transform the places of art into spaces that appeal to our senses, provoke a re-thinking of art that plays a central role in rethinking the aesthetics of the recent past and near future. |
