New exhibition by acclaimed artist Ryan Gander at East GalleryNUA offers visitors a free gift: a moment of choice.

About

Internationally-acclaimed conceptual artist Ryan Gander OBE, RA, brings his latest UK exhibition to East GalleryNUA during the Norfolk and Norwich Festival — inviting visitors to consider the theme of time.

The exhibition presents a number of new works, including Everything is Broken Down, 2022, which offers one free gift for every visitor. A coin, dispatched automatically by a motion sensor, Gander gifts an agent of dichotomy, a portable charm which presents a moment to make a choice, just as one might flip a coin. On one side ‘Time is your greatest asset’ on the other ‘Let the world take a turn’, the piece offers a decision between action or stillness, doing or not doing. A true exercise in agency, and a gesture towards the economic currency of time.

East Gallery Curator Claire Allerton said: “Ryan Gander is one of the most interesting contemporary artists working today. His work is poignant, thoughtful and playful. Like a puzzle, he presents fragments or clues through his work, and asks viewer to play the game of decoding it.”
