Ray Gallery is pleased to announce Anna Daniell’s solo exhibition, “A sculpture to be written into a Story.” The exhibition will take place coincidentally with Daniell's group exhibition at Open Source Gallery.
Anna Daniell was invited to exhibit in two different galleries (Open Source Gallery & Ray Gallery) in Brooklyn, opening on the same day of November 3rd, 2016. To be displayed at both venues, Daniell’s sculpture begins to disembody. Before the opening, some of its parts will be transferred to Ray Gallery from Open Source Gallery. A local author from Brooklyn is invited to spend time alone with the sculpture and write a story inspired by the private encounter with the work. The sculpture will be separated and never be seen as a whole. The viewers are invited to use their own narratives as they encounter her work.
Daniell’s investigation of the functions of sculpture in the contemporary culture explores different approaches to the artwork. She seeks to enhance the emotional experience of viewers with the artwork that is created by actively engaging viewers to question the procession.
Anna Daniell (b.1979) works in various mediums from sculpture, film, performance and text. Daniell’s recent exhibitions and performances include The Flock of Problems, Kabaret der Kunstler, Manifesta 11, Zurich (2016), Dagbok, Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2016); The Flock of Problems, Stavanger Kunstmuseum (2016); Got it for cheap, Carlos Queso Gallery, Los Angeles (2016); Graduation Exhibition, Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2016); Performing the Black Mountain College Archive, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2015); (re)remember study – Stavanger, Tou Scene, Stavanger (2015). Daniell is currently nominated as a finalist to the Sandefjord Kunstforening Art Award. Daniell’s upcoming exhibitions include a solo exhibition at Gallery Podium, Oslo and participation in the Norwegian Sculpture Biennial 2017. Daniell has been commissioned by the Municipality of Oslo and Petroleumstilsynet, Stavanger.
