For this show in Weissraum, the artist is adapting four of his latest works to reflect on his practice and the questions his work is inducing him to ask. Influenced by his recent trip to Japan, from Tokyo to Megijima, and especially the Japanese people, his attention focuses on how things become embedded within a person or a nation. The relationship between how things appear and what things are has emerged as key in the artist’s research and this exhibition and residency in Japan will further that enquiry. Being close to Robert Callender’s practice, giving attention to the objects he observed and objects that he made, is providing the artist with the opportunity to witness how such concepts already exist in solid art works. This exhibition marks the starting point of the artist's residency in Osaka, for which new work will be created as part of the artist's stay there. This work will be exhibited as part of a collective at the end of September and shown again in Kyoto in October.
