DAVID LAMELAS – THE OTHER SIDE
2017-10-16This exhibition is concurrent with Pacific Standard Time: Los Angeles/Latin America and marks the artist’s third solo presentation with the gallery, and his first at the Los Angeles space.
Born in Argentina in 1946, Lamelas has been an iconic international figure in conceptual art for over fifty years. He immigrated to London at twenty-one, and in the early 1970s began living and working part-time in Los Angeles. During this period he broadened his focus on conceptual film, while expanding his practice of sculptural works and performance.
For this exhibition Lamelas presents a reconceptualization of (Untitled) Falling Wall, initially conceived of in 1993, and a brand new sculpture, Walls Are Meant for Jumping (2017), derived from a sketch created by the artist in 1967. These site-specific installations simultaneously address the nomadic nature of Lamelas’ life, enabled by adaptability to varying place and context, and recurring themes of time and duration.
