LIAM GILLICK
FROM 199C TO 199D
Le MAGASIN – Centre National d’Art Contemporain de Grenoble presents an exhibition
by artist Liam Gillick. 199C to 199D is the second part of a collaborative process that
began with the artist working alongside students of the Center for Curatorial Studies
at Bard College (New York) in 2012. For Le Magasin a completely new exhibition has
been produced that reexamines many key works by the artist from the 1990s in close
collaboration with the students of the École du Magasin.
Re-activating Liam Gillick’s works questions the mutual relationship between the
curatorial, the artist, the institution and the viewer, providing a new perspective on the
future of contemporary artistic forms. The exhibition becomes a time game where the
near future and the recent past collapse, creating a new scenario in which the artworks
and the ideas of the artist are revealed anew; a space of critical exchange and new
debates is opened.
Liam Gillick lives and works in New-York. He has presented his work on several
occasions at Le MAGASIN, in particular with The Trial of Pol Pot (1998) alongside
Philippe Parreno.
