Nairy Baghramian's Books

The sculptors Nairy Baghramian and Phyllida Barlow are shown together for the first time at the Serpentine Gallery, in an exhibition exploring two positions on sculpture in the 21st century. The exhibition offers a new perspective on these two artists, who, though strikingly different in their approach, each examine questions related to the context in which their works are shown, while addressing the art-historical debate on the politics of form. Nairy Baghramian is a Berlin-based artist known for her sculptural installations and photographs. Her complex work encompasses questions of context, institutional framing and the production and reception of contemporary art. Key to Baghramian's work is how theoretical concepts, drawn from art historical debates around Minimalism, literature and design history, are translated into specific decisions about materiality, manufacture and display. Phyllida Barlow is a pioneering English artist. Her sculptural installations are characterised by their large scale, often made quickly in the same place that they are to be shown and with materials that are subsequently recycled for future use. Their rough appearance conveys the urgency with which they are produced. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Serpentine Gallery, London, 8 May - 13 June 2010.
