Nightlife
February 23 — April 14, 2018
New York: 21st Street
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present Cyprien Gaillard's second exhibition with the gallery in New York and the United States premiere of his film, Nightlife. Shot entirely at night over the course of two years, this three-dimensional film connects a series of divergent natural and cultural phenomena throughout Cleveland, Los Angeles and Berlin. Organized into distinct chapters, Nightlife optically, audibly and conceptually brings together an obscure yet significant mix of historical monuments and occurrences, forming a hyper psychedelic experience. This ambitious production ties together several key themes that recur throughout the artist's oeuvre, such as cultural relics, preservation and entropy, and speaks to the multidisciplinary nature of his practice.
