Annely Juda Fine Art is delighted to announce an exhibition by Richard Wilson entitled Stealing Space. The exhibition is the artist's first at the gallery and his first solo exhibtion in London since unveiling his major site-specific work, Slipstream, at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 2.
About
The exhibition will feature four new works, two of which are in direct response to the gallery's internal and external architecture. The exhibition will open on January 26th and will run until March 25th, 2017.
Wilson’s two site-specific works for this exhibition will dominate the gallery's main space and will stand, in places, above the height of the architectural beams. Wilson has created, specifically for this show, a sculpture of a slice of the negative space or “space between” the hallway and staircase leading to the gallery’s main entrance. Partial details of a doorway, steps or a bannister will be visible on the sculpture which will sit straight on the ground at a tilted angle, offering a reassessment of the perhaps completely unnoticed yet familiar surroundings the viewer has just encountered. Block of Dering, meanwhile, will take the facade of the gallery building at 23 Dering Street and reconfigure it into a near-cube. Even the gallery’s signage will be made out in this sculpture which presents the local architecture in an entirely new way.
In the second room, a sculpture delineates the “space between” an area of Wilson’s home in South East London whilst Blocka Flats takes a piece of household furniture cut up and reassembled into a form reminiscent of an urban landscape on a micro scale, the very same landscape which Wilson refers to in other works on a 1:1 scale. Wilson will also be showing a selection of drawings relating to these new works and maquettes of past works.
