Lust
29 January - 5 March, 2011
Hassan Khan presents “Lust”, a multilayered constellation of recent works that can be seen as focal points in his practice over the past three years. While the included works are highly enigmatic in nature and communicate on a number of registers, it is simultaneously important to consider them in light of a sophisticated line of thinking that has taken place over the course of the artist’s 15-year career. Key to this thinking has been a dynamic centered on private consciousness and public address—a way of dealing with the movements of ideological forces and social constructions of value as they pass from the crowd in the street into the psyche and back. In this sense we can then address his oeuvre as a means of confronting the spectral nature of these movements throughout a flowing cultural subconscious of a “public mind.”
