Ryan Gander is one of today's most compelling young artists. This
publication follows his first solo exhibition in the UK, and presents
an A-Z of his work from 1998 to the present. Gander's installations,
sculptures and photographs tell parts of a continuing story whose
threads run through all of his artistic output.
Using characters such as artist Spencer Anthony, writer Terrance
White and the band Perl Gray, we are presented with a series of
disjointed catalysts from which narratives begin to emerge. These
fragments are delivered to us through a diversity of forms and
vehicles: objects, obstacles, adjustments to architectural space,
design briefs, scripts, fragments of stories. The artist's gestures
resist simple explanations, leaving the spectator to fill in the gaps
This publication has been edited by Ryan Gander & Sara De Bondt and includes essays by Giovanni Carmine, Graham Parker, Steve Rushton and an interview with the artist.
