The overblown press release for this show is a work of art in its own right (you’ve been warned, friends), but this three-person exhibition is a thrill, no matter what it purports to mean.

Marcius Galan was born in Indianápolis, EUA in 1972 USA and lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. Galan has an impressive history of both solo and group, international and domestic exhibitions stretching back to 1996.

Marcius Galan explores the metaphorical capacities of space and our relation to it through his wideranging practice which encompasses installation, sculpture, photography and video. With a recognisably minimal aesthetic, Galan employs abstract geometry to delineate the political and social implications of his chosen environments, deconstructing the codes of objects established through everyday use. Whilst these configurations are always executed with graphic simplicity, Galan’s works are in fact complex material experiments that interrogate the functions, limits and frontiers of space and by extension, the socio-political systems which reside therein.

He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions worldwide. Recent exhibitions include the Kunstlerhaus Stuttgart(2008); Museum of Fine Arts Houston(2009); São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (2010) and ‘Ha Sempre um Copo de Mar para um Homem Navegar‘, 29a Bienal de São Paulo (2010); ‘Planos de Fuga’, CCBB, São Paulo (2012); ‘Para ser Construidos’, MUSAC, León, Spain (2012); ‘This is Brazil! 1990-2012’, Spain (2012) and ‘Blind Field’, Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavilion, Illinois, USA (2013).

Galan lives and works in Sao Paulo, Brazil and is currently represented by Galeria Luisa Strina.
