Gerard Byrne: A thing is a hole in a thing it is not

@ The Renaissance Society

5811 S Ellis Ave, Chicago, IL 60637

Opening Sunday, January 9th, from 4PM - 7PM

On view through Sunday, February 27th

The Renaissance Society, Lismore Castle Arts, C. Waterford, Ireland, and the 2010 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, in collaboration with Van Abbemuseum, co-commissioned Irish artist Gerard Byrne (b. 1969) to create this new multi-channel film installation titled A thing is a hole in a thing it is not. As this title—a quotation of Carl Andre’s famous dictum—suggests, Byrne’s attention here will be on the historical reception of Minimalism as a movement, a history that is resonant within the context of The Society’s early engagement with that movement’s artists.
