cherrydelosreyes participates in the multi-venue exhibition Home and Away, curated by Max Presneill as part of the 5th Absolut LA
International Biennial. Artists Per Hüttner (Sweden), Deirdre King
(UK), and Thomas Wildner (Germany) present new work on the theme of
location, migration and the nomadic practices of contemporary artists.
With the economical airfare and new horizons generated by the linking
of artists and curators via email and the Internet, the contemporary
art world has seen an astounding increase in joint ventures and
collaborative models of practice. This has led to a rethinking of the
common roles held by artistic producers, curators, critics and
viewers. The artists participating in Home and Away, though different
in practice, nonetheless share a world view in which art works as a
free-flowing medium of global exchange. Curator Max Presneill
conceived of the multi-venue exhibition Home and Away as an
open-ended exploration of this theme.
Per Hüttner travels and has exhibited extensively in such cities as
Los Angeles, New York, Stockholm, Vancouver, Marseille and Sydney. He
has future exhibitions at Konstmuseet in Göteborg, Sweden and at
Chisenhale Gallery in London.
Deirdre King lives and works in London, England where she received
her BFA from Goldsmiths College. She has exhibited in Helsinki,
London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Brighton.
