Ryan Gander

Press release

THIS IS FEELING ALL OF IT draws on Gander’s research into human perception and cognition, investigating the variety of ways in which humans navigate and perceive the world around them. Particular focuses include his research into Autism, with his six-year old son Baxter having been diagnosed several years ago, alongside ongoing themes around attention and distraction — terms highly charged in cultural discussions of the last 150 years, and increasingly so in the context of social media and their impact on changing human cognition. Gander’s exhibition address these topics as artist and father, transforming them into artworks that are profoundly moving and thought-provoking, a subtle celebration of cognitive diversity. The exhibition also premiers Gander’s first artificial intelligence virtual reality artwork, co-commissioned and presented by global arts and technology initiative VIVE Arts in partnership with Esther Schipper and organised with Olivier Renaud-Clément
