The Day To Day Accumulation Of Hope, Failure And Ecstasy - Better A Productive Failure Than An Unproductive Success (The Fairfield International), 2016

Bronze

The sculpture is an enlarged version of a brass keychain. Attached to the ring is the model of a fictional work made by the artist in a para-possible lifetime. This keychain relates to the unrealized project for a private art school instigated by the artist – The Fairfield International.

Curtain, grilled vent

The walls in one room are covered with a thin pleated curtain. Ryan Gander's subtle, elusive works encourage observers to explore new spaces and, in the process, confront the multiple ambiguities of what may constitute a work of art. Alluding to the presence of an unseen space, a strong current from a large air vent causes a section of the curtain to billow in constant movement.
