Liam Gillick
David
1999 Frankfurter Kunstverein EXHIBITION
Sept 17 to Nov 21, 1999
Liam Gillick's need to play with time, or more precisely - in his own words - “An awareness of the ways in which stories can be compressed and playfully altered to convey ideas...”, underlies the conception of Gillick's exhibition David, which he developed for the Frankfurter Kunstverein.
The exhibition consisted of a series of rooms that can be seen as possible settings in relation to a fictional person - David - and that person's experiences or memories. The project opened up a process that revolves around the idea of how, with incomplete information, the image of a particular situation can emerge through the interplay of observation and imagination. Gillick also designed the conference room for the “New Art Criticism” symposium that followed the opening day. The room remained after the symposium - as part of the exhibition - and, like many of Gillick's works, moved at the interfaces of art production, applicability (function) and design.
