Jinxed Variations

April 18 June 17, 2017

Brussels

Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Cyprien Gaillard, the artist’s first show at the gallery’s Brussels location. This unique presentation expands upon Gaillard's unremitting anthropological inquiry into the rehabilitated readymade and the friction it poses in both material and psychological states. Featuring more than 60 new photographs, as well as large-scale graphite works on paper, this exhibition digs deep into the artist’s interest in layered political and social situations on a global scale. His preoccupation with and appreciation of disorder, be it as an aesthetic device or a portal into pedestrian bedlam, presents a platform thick with sociopolitical references and philosophical inquiries.
