Friends Indeed Gallery Friends Indeed Gallery Ryan Gander 1976 Chester, UK. Ryan Gander is an artist living and working in Suffolk and London. He has established an international reputation through artworks that materialise in many different forms from sculpture to film, writing, graphic design, installation, performance and more besides. Through associative thought processes that connect the everyday and the esoteric, the overlooked and the commonplace, Gander’s work involves a questioning of language and knowledge, a reinvention of the modes of appearance and creation of an artwork. His work can be reminiscent of a puzzle, a network with multiple connections, the fragments of an embedded story, a huge set of hidden clues to be deciphered, encouraging viewers to make their own connections and invent their own narrative in order to solve the charade with its many solutions, staged by the artist. Gander studied at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, NL and the Jan van Eyck Akademie, Maastricht, NL. He was awarded the 2007 Paul Hamlyn Award for Visual Arts, in 2006 won the ABN AMRO prize of the Netherlands, in 2005 he was short listed for the British art Prize ‘Becks Futures’ at the ICA in London and won the Baloise Art Statement Prize at Art Basel, in 2009 he was awarded the Zürich Art Prize. Alongside his artistic production, Gander is a visiting lecturer at a selection of art schools within Europe, previously being a Professor of Fine Arts at Huddersfield University, and has been presented the award of Doctor of Arts of the Manchester Metropolitan University, Honoris Causa, and at the University of Suffolk. In 2017 he was awarded an OBE for services to contemporary arts. In 2019 he was awarded the Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University.

  • Press Release Ryan Gander ‘I See You’Re Making Progress’
    Press Release Ryan Gander ‘I see you’re making progress’ 19 May – 31 August 2019 2/F, 27 Huqiu Road, Huangpu District Following a successful exhibition, ‘Human/Non Human/Broken/Non Broken,’ at collector David Chau’s Cc Foundation in 2017, this is Ryan Gander’s second solo show in Shanghai and features work in a variety of media, from time-based animation and a holographic piece, to free-standing sculptures and portrait paintings created since 2016. The exhibition’s title ‘I see you’re making progress’ reflects Gander’s constantly evolving practice and career trajectory, while the works also display this evolutionary process – from the confines of the artist’s mind and studio, towards the boundless possibilities to learn and develop from the outside world. A new work from 2019, View from the studio window (8th November 2017), depicts a hazy view of the world outside his workspace as it transitions from day to night throughout a 24-hour cycle. The animated screens behind the frosted glass approximate the exact light conditions and changing weather of that time and place – not to mention the gently swaying silhouettes of trees and the shadow of a chain link fence – all now transposed, seemingly impossibly, to an interior-facing gallery wall in Shanghai. Another windowpane appears in this show, this time one that has been white-washed and smashed, obscuring a hidden artwork never to be revealed, while also creating a new visceral abstract composition through the use of haphazard duct-taping. As well as gazing out of the window – with all the Romantic notions this inspires, from the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich to Henri Matisse – Gander is also concerned with the missteps, failures and cul-de-sacs of art production: those notorious opponents of progress.

  • Press Release Ryan Gander NY 2020
    Press Release Ryan Gander These are the markers of our time 10 September – 21 October 2020 508 West 24th Street, New York “For all their concern for promoting individuality as opposed to collectivity, fractioning as opposed to solidifying, communitarianism as opposed to commonality, to the subjects of identity politics and the internet, the hyper-real and the not so real, and your nostalgic hankerings in a quest to slow time... you are perhaps somewhat missing the point, or at least the subject. These are not the subjects of your time, these are only the consequences of your time. Time… That is the subject of your time.” - Extract from Ryan Gander, ‘The End’ (February, 2020) Ryan Gander will open Lisson Gallery’s new space in New York with an exhibition hiGhliGhtinG time as the new currency, reflectinG on how – in an aGe of identity politics, selfie culture and an incessant need to shout the loudest – the focus of our time should be on the value of time itself. The exhibition is made up of many individual works that create a whole, like chapters in a book, but with no linear beginning or end. Upon entering the space, the visitor is presented with a feeling of disarray – from broken glass to graphite marks on the walls – where each work is a piece of the puzzle, referencinG Gander’s interest in chance, serendipity and storytellinG, layinG out a series of clues and markers to be decrypted. In his last exhibition at Lisson Gallery London, Gander encouraGed the viewer to allow a natural course of action, claiminG that time has its own course, a power that we cannot control.

Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.

Contents Introduction 3 About the Exhibition 5 About Ryan Gander 7 About Arts Council Collection 9 How the exhibition can be used with students 11 Foundation, Early Years and Primary Activities 13 Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 Activities 23 Acknowledgements 31 Introduction 3 ‘Our preoccupation with education, learning and development shouldn’t end in the classroom, but should feed into and resonate around how we encourage young people to live their lives. We should animate them never to assume anything or to respond conventionally to convention; to possess an ability to start backwards, change perspective and question the necessity of things, treating every event as a creative act, seamlessly merging their lives and what we think of as ‘work’. My dad’s cliché of “If you choose a job you love doing you never have to work a day in your life” rings loud and true here. I hope the exhibition is a good starting point for this.’ Ryan Gander, artist ‘Children’s ability to appreciate and interpret what they observe, communicate what they think and feel, or make what they imagine and invent, is influenced by the quality of their art, craft and design education.’ Jean Humphrys, Ofsted Director of Education Ryan Gander often draws inspiration from the playfulness and imagination of children, who are less encumbered by facts and appearances than adults.
