THIS IS FEELING ALL OF IT draws on Gander’s research into human perception and cognition, investigating the variety of ways in which humans navigate and perceive the world around them. Particular focuses include his research into Autism, with his six-year old son Baxter having been diagnosed several years ago, alongside ongoing themes around attention and distraction — terms highly charged in cultural discussions of the last 150 years, and increasingly so in the context of social media and their impact on changing human cognition. Gander’s exhibition address these topics as artist and father, transforming them into artworks that are profoundly moving and thought-provoking, a subtle celebration of cognitive diversity.

Using oil paint, acrylic spray paint and silkscreen ink on canvas, the paintings in Eye Level include printed motifs depicting female Kurdish freedom fighters using binoculars to survey the land and sky, except for one fighter, who sits and reads a book. While she reads in Fireball, the Sumerian language appears as cuneiform in Gold. The Sumerian script, familiar to the artist through her Yazidi background, signals the written word, while her brushstrokes evoke associations of inscription or signatuare.
Additionally, Yenirce layers blueprints of F-16 fighter jets, used extensively by Turkey in conflict with these women fighters, and Google Earth views of the controversial Ilisu Dam project, built and finalized by Turkey in 2018. Mapping tools of ruin, the images relate to each other in various ways: while the jets are used to control the area where the women operate from above, the dam has flooded about 200 villages from below, as rising water levels overflow the banks of the Tigris River and submerge regions where people have lived for millennia. As the artist states, only between the earth and the sky, “on eye level, can these women exist.”
