JOHN HENDERSON : Excerpts

26 Jun-16 Jul 2013

Overview

Curated by Benjamin Godsill: John Henderson is a Ghostbuster. By this I mean he is an arrestor of—and in many ways a medium for—the spectral; channeling and then disturbing established narratives of post-war abstraction, minimalist and conceptual practices. Henderson is part of a generation of artists who have come of age not only with the weight of art history on their backs but also the weight of Google image search. That is to say Henderson has by necessity had to grapple with bringing new objects, images and ideas into a world that presumes it can infinitely reproduce them without a loss of resolution.
