Sketches for a Light/Heavy Monument
Four Gallery
29 November – 2 December 2006
Four is pleased to present Sketches for a Light/Heavy Monument, an exhibition of new work by Gavin Murphy. This ongoing series of works concerns the practice of the human tendency toward leaving ‘heavy markers’ - recording lives and achievements - versus the ‘lightness’ of actual existence, asking the question: which is better – lightness or weight? For this Murphy (re) creates existing and fictional monuments in the form of video works, photographic prints, text and sculptural assemblage.
