Yann S�randour Cloudy with a Chance of a Ray of Sunlight May 7 - June 18, 2011 Opening: Saturday, May 7th, 4-9pm The work of Yann S�randour has often referred to conceptual art of the sixties and the seventies, periods of particular interest to him because of their copious diffusion in the form of publications and prints � his material of predilection. For his new show at gb agency, he moves his attention to other fields and more distant times, strengthening a temporal gap with our contemporaneity. World Mirrors (2011) is a series of aluminum print reproductions of black and white photographs of mirrors of different styles and times, taken from a reference book published by Sotheby�s. The original photographed mirrors are characterized by the absence of reflected images in their frames, substituted by a cloudy grey opaqueness that obscures the reflection of the setting mirrors were originally shot. This abstract space forms a surface where the reflection is not possible, so much so that one�s gaze toward the weave of images is blurred upon approaching it. Yann S�randour moves a copy of the Penitent Magdalene by the Italian neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova from its location in Chamarande (an estate just outside of Paris) to the gallery and along with his installation Penitent Magdalene (2011) prolongs the histories of the statues movements and misfortunes. Finally, Cloudy With a Chance of a Ray of Sunlight (2011) traverses the gallery. The atmosphere of recollection that permeates the space is potentially and periodically awoken by the luminous sparks that crosses it, like a fortuitous event that suddenly deviates the process of things. gb agency 18 rue des 4 fils 75003 Paris T. +33 1 44 78 00 60 www.gbagency.fr Opening hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10am/1pm and 2pm/7pm Mac Adams, Robert Breer, Elina Brotherus, Omer Fast, Ryan Gander, Mark Geffriaud, J�lius Koller, Jir� Kovanda, Deimantas Narkevicius, Roman Ondak, Dominique Petitgand, Pratchaya Phinthong, Pia R�nicke,Yann S�randour |
