Tristan Horton : Tabarium

15 Apr-24 Jun 2016

Overview

WORK is pleased to host Tabarium, the first UK exhibition of Berlin-based Canadian artist Kristan Horton. In Tabarium, and other work, Horton uses a variety of media to elaborate on the ways in which movement is represented, and the ways in which ‘things’ are generated and regenerated. Since the 1990s, Horton’s preoccupations have included the consumption of texts and mass media, the representation of simultaneous and rotated scenes, and the visualisation of power generation. Well known for his photographic series Dr. Strangelove Dr. Strangelove, 2003—2006, for which he recreated scenes of the Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964, using items from his studio, Horton presents a range of sculptural forms that challenge and question the boundaries of the real, the approximate and the virtual.
