For the first time in Germany, The Art and Exhibition Hall in Bonn will present a comprehensive survey exhibition of Gillick‘s work. The exhibition will reveal the evolution of his practice through the presentation of key themes, works and installations. Over 60 works from nearly two decades will be presented.

The exhibition will create a theoretical yet visually striking base from which to view the precision, continuity and beauty of his work. The visitor of the exhibition will be induced by the clarity of color and materials combined with brittle, brilliant views. A seductive poetry of words meets formal rigor and seriality. All this produces a game with light and reflection – both literal and historical. The work provokes fundamental questions about the possibilities and function of art in our social reality.
