Gabriel Kuri

Kuri gathers his resources from a variety of sites before combining them in a manner that draws upon tradition of assemblage with a nod to Surrealist montage. The cataloge shows, amongst others, new pieces produced for the exhibition, revealing both the diversity of Kuri's formal approach and the consistency of his underlying themes: notions of commercial and cultural value, consumerism, as well as material and its poetic (mis)use.
