Creative Play May Entail Some Risk Taking

ABOUT

APT artist Ryan Gander’s sensitivity to refuge, to gathering and assembling, to wanderlust and to fleetingness is what has guided our thinking in preparing an arrangement of works at Scrap Metal. The gallery echoes these associations: it is the figurative extension of a collector’s home that acts as a stronghold for temporary presentations of deeply cared for objects and ideas. Hence, we have treated the space with a greater sense of intimacy for this occasion. Reflecting Gander’s polymathic approach to art making, the show combines a range of media: painting, sculpture, photography and performance. By absenting and reshuffling art historical, pop cultural and personal source material, Gander’s works can be described in this context as metaphorical windows and doors left ajar, invitations to recapture youth by way of igniting memory, and inspiring speculation as an act of creative thinking.
