Paper Show. September 18 - October 31 Opening Thursday 17 September. 17.00 - 20.00 David Risley Gallery is pleased to announce Paper show, featuring 17 international artists. Paper Show began as a back to basics. Thinking about the site of the 1st draft, the initial idea, the note on a scrap of paper. The paper itself. Paper is the common denominator across diverse practices and ideological positions. It is the common material of writers, musicians, architects and artists. It links artists of all disciplines; painting, photography, sculpture, performance. It is a democratic, non-hierarchical material, which cuts across theoretical stances and connects the coldly conceptual with the wildly expressionistic. The artists here use paper as a considered and essential element within the work, not merely as a convenient support. Several of the works take paper as subject rather than material. Others as a meeting place, a battlefield, a document, a marker of time, a gift. What began as a back to basics has inevitably become complex. Paper Show. Fernisering torsdag d. 17. september. 17.00 - 20.00 David Risley Gallery kan med gl�de pr�sentere Paper Show med 17 internationale kunstnere. Denne udstilling begyndte som et "back to basics." En funderen over det f�rste udkast, den oprindelige id�, en note p� en lap papir. Selve papiret. Papir er f�llesn�vneren p� tv�rs af forskellige praksisser og ideologier. Det er det mest almindelige materiale for forfattere, musikere, arkitekter og kunstnere. Det forbinder kunstnere af enhver art; maleri, fotografi, skulptur, performance. Det er et demokratisk, uhierarkisk materiale, som sk�rer p� tv�rs af teoretiske positioner og forbinder det k�ligt konceptuelle med det vildt ekspressionistiske. Kunstnerne p� udstillingen bruger papir som et overvejet og essentielt element i deres v�rker, ikke kun som belejlig st�tte. Flere af v�rkerne bruger papiret som genstandsfelt snarere end materiale. Andre som et m�dested, en slagmark, et dokument, en tidsmark�r, en gave. Hvad der begyndte som et "back to basics" er helt uundg�eligt blevet mere komplekst. |
