Gillick is renowned for his brightly coloured Plexiglas and
aluminium installations that mediate the visual languages of
architecture, design and sculpture. The Wood Way is a sequence of
propositions about the built world and the political ethics
surrounding it. The structures refer to an evolving urban
landscape, which is subject to negotiation, renovation and a
continual state of change. The exhibition title is derived from the
German word 'Holzweg' and refers to deliberately or mistakenly
taking the wrong route and ending up in the woods. In the context
of the exhibition this literally refers to the complex system of
exposed wooden panels in which the work is situated and reflects
the duality of Gillick's scepticism and excitement for the built
environment and how we operate within it. [Born in 1964, Gillick
studied at Goldsmith's College and progressed to exhibitions across
Europe and the USA. As a writer and curator, Gillick has
collaborated with artists, writers, architects and designers.
Recent UK projects include a commission for Tate Britain and a solo
exhibition at the Arnolfini in 2000. He currently lives in London
and New York.]
