Introduction
Taking place every September, Various Others initiates cooperative and international art projects in galleries, artist–run spaces and museums in Munich, serving as a content-driven forum for contemporary art.
On the occasion of Various Others 2020, Esther Schipper is pleased to present the work of Gabriel Kuri in cooperation with Walter Storms Galerie.
Kuri’s eloquent and compelling oeuvre encompasses sculpture, collage, and installation and is marked by the use of repurposed natural, industrial, and mass-produced elements including shells, insulation foam, or soda cans. A recurring theme in his work is “spent” time, energy, or currency and many pieces include traces of past human activities in the form of empty bottles, cigarette butts, or ticket stubs.
