Exterior days. For this exhibition Gillick brings his focus back to the combination of provisional forms, diagrams and texts that have been the legacy of his most recent book 'Literally No Place'. A sequence of painted metal structures operates as the building blocks of a notional exterior space. These are combined with cut-paper works that double-function as posters for a new written project in progress and designs for architectural sunscreens (brise soleil).
EXTERIOR DAYS
Liam Gillick is involved in a negotiation of the way ideology lingers in the
built structures that surround us. For the last two years he has been
involved in a number of collaborations on new architectural projects. From
an airport in Florida to a High school at the foot of the Austrian Alps;
from new government buildings in London to the signage for a farmer's market
in the Spanish countryside, he has brought his theoretical and artistic work
to bear on new constructions.
For this exhibition Gillick brings his focus back to the combination of
provisional forms, diagrams and texts that have been the legacy of his most
recent book 'Literally No Place' (Bookworks, London, 2002). A sequence of
painted metal structures operates as the building blocks of a notional
exterior space. These are combined with cut-paper works that double-function
as posters for a new written project in progress and designs for
architectural sunscreens (brise soleil).
New short animated films introduce work on a movie with no camera derived
from Gabriel Tarde's neo-utopian classic 'The Underground Man'.
Since his last exhibition at Casey Kaplan, Liam Gillick has presented a
focused survey of works from the mid-nineties at the Whitechapel Gallery in
London and been nominated for the Turner Prize.
Gillick is currently working within the core group developing the exhibition
'Utopia Station' as part of this year's Venice Biennale opening in June.
Additionally, he is working towards two new projects for September: an
installation at the Museum of Modern Art in its Queens location and a solo
exhibition at The Power Plant in Toronto.
