About

Renowned for his sculptural installations and video works that push everyday objects and situations to absurd ends, for his new Curve commission Roman Signer uses the kayak – a long standing symbol and form in his work for three decades. 

Specially made for this show, the kayak moves through the 90-metre long gallery towed by a rope suspended from the ceiling, navigating the Curve as if moving through a river. The exhibition extends to the foyer and lakeside, with two other kayaks installed across the centre in unexpected ways reflecting Signer’s playful and surreal approach to his subject.

Slow Movement also includes a selection of earlier films featuring the kayak to explore the multiple facets of his innovative practice through his ongoing interest in this object.
