Gerard Byrne A thing is a hole in a thing it is not Opens @ Renaissance Society
The Renaissance Society, the Lismore Castle Arts, and 2010 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art have co-commissioned in collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum a new multi-channel film installation titled "A thing is a hole in a thing it is not." As the title -- a reference to Carl Andre's famous dictum -- suggests, Byrne's attention will be on the historical reception of Minimalism as a movement, a history that is resonant within the context of The Renaissance Society's early engagement with that movement's artists. The opening reception for this installation is today from 4pm to 7pm, with a discussion with the artist from 5 to 6pm. The Renaissance Society is located at 5811 S. Ellis Ave.
