Oliver Laric, Versions, Seventeen Gallery, London


Oliver Laric Versions
Seventeen Gallery
17 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8AA
13.01.10 – 13.02.10

Wednesday to Saturday 11am - 6pm

Seventeen Gallery presents a solo show and curated exhibition by artist and vvork.com contributor, Oliver Laric, featuring a 4 screen video installation of four versions of his film, Versions, and a series of individually made, moulded polyurethane sculptures, also entitled Versions.

The show explores the circulation, manipulation, and interpretation of images and their ideological functions, historically and in the contemporary digital-information age. Laric describes his practice in the version of Versions featuring his voice-over, as being a process of ‘cropping,’ and talks about his delight in embracing the abundance and endless variation that can be accessed via digital media.

Laric’s curated show Real Talk sits alongside this exhibition in Seventeen’s basement space; A show of 4 video-based works by Seth Price, Aleksandra Domanovic, Marjolijn Dijkman and Samuel Beckett. Bringing together a mixture of influences, peers and artists who explore similar territory to that traversed in Laric’s work, the show offers a satisfying extension to both the processes and the themes found in the work upstairs.

If you can’t make it to the gallery 3 of the versions of Versions on show can be seen here.
