Liam Gillick

Kunstverein Munchen, Munich

Three Perspectives and a Short Scenario - Mirrored Image: A Volvo bar. The show provides a deep insight into Gillick's complex artistic practice. Instead of simply exhibiting previous works this multilayerd retrospective stands out due to it's self-reflexive nature, diverse exhibition formats and forms of presentation come into operation to negotiate the artist' work of the past 20 years and discuss the possibilities as well as the limits of a retrospective.


comunicato stampa

Controversially discussed has been the announcement that Liam Gillick (b. Aylesbury, UK, 1964), will be the artist at the German Pavilion at the 53. Venice Biennale 2009. With the exhibition “Three Perspectives and a Short Scenario* Mirrored Image: A ‘Volvo’ bar” Kunstverein München now provides an insight into Liam Gillick`s complex artistic practice.

In autumn 2006 Liam Gillick and four international institutions decided to co-produce a mid-career retrospective in four acts. Earlier this year the first two exhibitions took place at, Witte de With, Rotterdam and Kunsthalle Zürich. Kunstverein München now presents the third act before the retrospective will come to an end at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in autumn 2009.

Instead of simply exhibiting previous works this multilayerd retrospective stands out due to it`s self-reflexive nature. Diverse exhibition formats and forms of presentation come into operation to negotiate Gillick`s work of the past 20 years and discuss the possibilities as well as the limits of a retrospective.

Within this context of this exhibition Kunstverein München is transformed into an active place of production. Produced will be a play titled “Mirrored Image: A ‘Volvo’ bar”, directed by Liam Gillick. Working with a group of young Munich actors within a structure, designed by the artist, a basic text will be developed and reworked into a series of performances that will take place during and within this exhibition.

Adapting the exhibition space as stage on which phenomena of the post-industrial society are played out, the exhibition at Kunstverein München presents a core aspect in Gillicks work:
negotiating models of communality.

Opening: 26 September 2008, 8 PM
