Gerard Byrne

The Renaissance Society, Chicago

A thing is a hole in a thing it is not. As this title - a quotation of Carl Andre's famous dictum - suggests, Byrne's attention here will be on the historical reception of Minimalism as a movement, a history that is resonant within the context of The Society's early engagement with that movement's artists.


comunicato stampa

The Renaissance Society, Lismore Castle Arts, C. Waterford, Ireland, and the 2010 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, in collaboration with Van Abbemuseum, co-commissioned Irish artist Gerard Byrne (b. 1969) to create this new multi-channel video installation titled A thing is a hole in a thing it is not. As this title—a quotation of Carl Andre's famous dictum—suggests, Byrne's attention here will be on the historical reception of Minimalism as a movement, a history that is resonant within the context of The Society's early engagement with that movement's artists.

The opening reception will be on January 9, 2011, from 4 to 7 pm. There will be a discussion with the artist from 5 to 6 pm.
