Ryan Gander, culturefield

Więcej o książce

Ryan Gander draws from his prolific and diverse output over the past 15 years and brings together for the first time, images of some 300 works and projects and six specially commissioned texts. Through associative thought processes that connect the everyday and the esoteric, the overlooked and the commonplace, Gander’s work involves a questioning of language and knowledge, the fragments of embedded stories and a reinvention of the modes of appearance and creation of an artwork. Ryan Gander’s work ranges across a dizzying spectrum of forms and ideas. His meticulously researched projects—which have included such diverse conceptual gestures as an invented word, a chess s et, a television script, and a children’s book—engage familiar historical narratives and cultural paradigms only to unravel their structures and assumptions, presenting elusive scenarios that abound with interpretive potential.
