Galerie Christophe Gaillard

Letha Wilson and Kate Steciw @ Christophe Gaillard, Oct 8- Nov 12

10 October 2016

Letha Wilson presents Surface Moves alongside a solo exhibition by Kate Steciw at Paris’ Galerie Christophe Gaillard opening on October 8 and running to November 12.

With Steciw’s showing in the Front space and Wilson showing in the Main space, the two exhibitions will run during the same time-frame and are part of Paris’ annual art fair Fiac.

Steciw’s practice explores the malleability of image culture, and the temporality inherent within it. Sculptural and photographic encounters are used to rephrase and repeat through collage and overlay. This exhibition in particular focuses on “the behaviour of images and how their state of contingency can be harnessed within the production of art.”

Wilson’s exhibition uses photographic prints, metals and concrete to explore the landscape of the American West, and the relationship between materials that are “grounded in their shared nature as substrates, surfaces and physical vestiges of actions.”
