Catalogue Note
Ryan Gander connects prosaic historical facts and events with a large collection of fictional and semifictional elements. He uses installation, video, advertisement, sound and literature to provoke a dialogue between the familiar and the unfamiliar. The finished pieces are often minimal, but they suggest a variety of points of reference, from the utopian impulses of the early twentieth century to contemporary popular culture and mundane aspects of everyday life. Gander continuously seeks to reconfigure existing aesthetic conventions by restructuring their defining parameters, reinventing his own practice in the process. His installation Is this guilt in you too – (Cinema Verso) (2006) reverses the conventional viewing situation of the cinema theatre. Visitors fumble through the dark and into a decrepit room behind a glass cinema screen only to peer through the blurry movie projection at the theatre's empty rows of seats. Gander describes his own practice as being driven by the intent to create something completely new and unexpected every time he tackles a project, willfully producing pieces that appear ill-fitting in relation to the body of work that came before them. Gander is also known for running the non-profit space Associates (2007).
