Corban Walker’s Post

NOW OPEN! We are thrilled to be hosting CORBAN WALKER's latest solo exhibition UNDER STAND THE SPACE. Under Stand The Space spans over eighteen years and includes a range of sculptural and wall-mounted works, some of which are exhibited here in Ireland for the first time. Assembled using carefully engineered stacking systems and ranging in steel, aluminium, acrylic and glass, this body of work is concerned with perceptions of scale, architectural constructs and the manipulation of materials. Walker’s local, cultural, and specific philosophies of scale are fundamental to how he defines and develops his work, challenging the viewer to articulate form and structure in a new transparency and creating new means for viewers to interact and navigate their surroundings. Contrasting his own personal experience with other people’s belief of what is considered a ‘correct proportion and measure’, through a minimalist approach he aims to introduce new ideas to our environment through his own perception of scale, known as 'Corbanscale'. Walker graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, in 1992. Since then, he has mounted several solo exhibitions internationally and has realized important public art commissions worldwide. He represented Ireland at the 54th Venice International Art Biennale in 2011 and received the prestigious Pollock Krasner Award in 2015. His work forms part of numerous public and private collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Crawford Gallery, Cork and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. The show runs until October 21st. If you can't visit the gallery, you can view the exhibition in our Online Viewing Room here: https://lnkd.in/e55aVnDY The viewing room includes a 360 degree virtual tour, exhibition catalogue download, photos from opening night and recent newspaper articles and reviews on the artist.
