Simryn Gill Exhibition
March 5, 2006 | Elif SUNGUR
Gill's work questions the coherence of systems that humans create to "know" the world around them.
Working with a myriad of materials, including books, plant materials, photographs and other found objects, she encourages the viewer to reject a rigid classification of their surroundings in favour of arrangements which offer uncertainty, disturbance and new possibilities.
For the Level 2 Gallery, Gill has created a thought-provoking installation from a collection of books assembled over many years.
Ranging from pulp fiction to academic writings, these publications provide the raw material which Gill then uses to tease out a supposedly "neutral" set of words.
The exhibition will take place between 18 March 2006 and 7 May 2006.
