GRAHAM HUDSON
Opening March 5 at 6p.m.
The gallery Monitor is pleased to present English artist Graham Hudson’s first solo show in Italy.
This is the second appointment in the gallery’s short-term residency programme for young international artists.
Following his circa six-month project of the monumental and incessant construction of an inhabitable structure as part of the sculpture park in London’s Parade Ground, located between the Tate Britain and the Chelsea College of Art, Graham Hudson has now developed a site-specific project for the gallery’s exhibition space.
As with “Residence”, the sculpture/house made with the support of the Henry Moore Foundation, so in Rome the artist continues his investigation of salvage materials, objects dug up in bric-a-brac stores, wood abandoned on street corners and places fallen into disuse.
In a continual, apparently random, but absolutely appropriate assembly that lends itself quite naturally to the construction of the structure that incorporates the space of the gallery, this structure transforms the gallery into a surreal and fantastic set, in perfect balance between a construction site, almost a recently abandoned corner at the city’s thresholds, and a small, alienated cul-de-sac.
Graham Hudson, Sussex, 1977. He currently lives in Los Angeles for the residency programme Raid Projects.
Solo shows:
2007 Rokeby, London (upcoming); 2006 ZingerPresents, Amsterdam; Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles; 2005 Rokeby, London; VTO, London; Jerwood Artist’s Platform, Jerwood Space, London.
Group Shows:
2006 Saudade, Highbury Studios; 2005 Seventeen Presents, Seventeen, London; Acid Rain, Glassbox, Paris; Larry’s Cocktails, Gagosian Gallery, Heddon St, London; Open Garden, Fortescue Avenue/Johnathon Viner, London; 2004 Collage, Bloomberg Space, London.
The exhibition was made possible with the support of the British Council.
The gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 3:30p.m. to 8:00p.m.
