Angela Bulloch
11 October to 18 December - FREE ADMISSION
This is the first comprehensive presentation of Angela Bulloch's work in the UK.
Angela Bulloch is one of Britain's most innovative artists. Her innovations into the systems that structure social behaviour have led multi-disciplinary installations combining conceptual rigour with sensuousness and humour.
Bulloch's sculptures, light and sound works play with the ways in which we present and interpret different types of information, be it related to art, cinema or other forms of contemporary culture. Since her "Prototypes" exhibition in 2000, Bulloch has been creating increasingly ambitious installations based on the pixel box, an ingenious sculptural unit which marries the minimalist cube with a programmable light system capable of producing more than 16 million colour permutations. Arranged in stacks, rows or cinemascope screens, their mesmerising sequences of changing colour captivate the viewer in space-altering environments.
The exhibition presents seminal works dating from the early 90s to the present and includes a powerful and visually seductive light installation, RGB Spheres Parts I, II, III and IV (2005) brought together for the first time in the spaces at Modern Art Oxford.
Born in Rainy River, Canada in 1966, Angela Bulloch graduated in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London in 1988. She has exhibited extensively in Europe and internationally. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997, Bulloch has recently been announced as the winner of the 'the People's Prize' in the Berlin National Gallery's 'Prize for Young Art'.
Curated by Suzanne Cotter at Modern Art Oxford, the exhibition conicides wit solo exhibitions of Bulloch's work at Secession, Vienna, De Pont Foundation, Tilburg and the Power Plant, Toronto presented between autumn 2005 and summer 2006.
The exhibition is supported by the Henry Moore Foundation and the Canadian High Commission, London.
