As of March 1st 2018, London’s leading contemporary art gallery, the Lisson Galllery hosts the exhibition“The Self Righting of All Things” by Ryan Gander. The Gömböc plays a central role in this art exhibition and the largest installation, occupying two floors of Lisson Gallery, includes actual Gömböc shapes.
At the start of the exhibition, the top half of the gallery is filled with black sand, cascading down to the ground floor below. As the sand trickles through the floor, it reveals a series of stone sculptures – mythological nymphs like those found in classical Victorian paintings, rendered in 3D with precise replications of figurative poses, albeit removed from their original context and altered by their new surroundings – all the while slowly covering up seven sculptural realisations of the Gömböc on the ground floor.
Gander, a leading figure of contemporary conceptual art, has already been insipred by the Gömböc in his earlier works as well. The exhibition at Lisson Gallery will be open until April 21st and on April 14th there will be a conversation between Ryan Gander and Gabor Domokos.
