Ryan Gander - The artists have the keys

About

Gander's exhibited works draw on the objects designed and assembled by the Goldfinger family at 2 Willow Road. His conceptual art practice involves a questioning of language and knowledge, and a reinvention of the modes of appearance and creation of an artwork. The exhibition presents many new works by Gander, including: Anyone with a family is motivated by money - a self-assembly moneybox designed and made using the same slot-together technique used by Elizabeth Goldfinger for lounge chairs at 2 Willow Road. A flawed and wounded man bleeding frames onto a page - a performance of a children's book written by Gander, entitled The Boy Who Always Looked Up, about Goldfinger's relationship to Trellick Tower. The work is a dramatic radio play, filmed in a professional recording studio, incorporating a live performance by foley artists using sound effect props to accompany the narrative.
