Milton Keynes Gallery presents a major solo exhibition of work by a London-based artist who emerged in the early 1990s, exhibiting with Gavin Brown at City Racing in London and collaborating with artists including Liam Gillick, Elizabeth Wright and Paul Noble. Working with sound, performance, sculpture, collage and photography, the artist creates narratives or systems which are played out in the form of installations, interventions and live events.
The artist’s practice often precipitates unexpected contradictions and humorous outcomes, playfully experimenting with language, image, form and identity.
The exhibition at Milton Keynes Gallery contains three new installations and a sculptural piece that wraps around the exterior of the building.
ANOTHER ANOTHER RING OF BALLS (2010), is a row of found magazine pages pasted around the walls of a room, each page containing a circular image, arranged in order of size.
The exhibition displays a range of the artist’s experiments with systems, geometry, chance and the absurd. Each work opens up a space for the imagination, encouraging varying degrees of interaction and response, inviting the viewer into a playful dialogue with the artist.
A catalogue with an interview between the artist and Milton Keynes Gallery Director Anthony Spira and a text by art historian Gilda Williams will be available.
