NASAN TUR

26 Mar-23 Apr 2015

Overview

The directors of Blain|Southern are delighted to present Nasan Tur’s first-ever UK solo exhibition. Tur’s work often reflects the social conditions in which it is produced, exploring political ideologies and the symbols of power that are present throughout our environment. This is the German artist’s second show with the gallery, following his 2013 presentation at Blain|Southern Berlin. Bringing together new and recent works the exhibition explores the notion of failure and fragility, both in relation to the individual and society more broadly. Our everyday struggle, where we ‘fail’ and ‘win’ in equal measure, is examined both through reference to the body and via the form of text.
