Cause Unknown George Eksts

8 October – 8 November 2014

We are delighted to present Cause Unknown, George Eksts’s second solo show at the gallery.

Eksts works with photography, video and sculpture. An emphasis on form and structure over content defines much of his work. Tools are presented as ends instead of means, valued for their inherent potential rather than any definite product. Obsolete media are re-purposed as materials for drawing and sculpture. Eksts removes the obvious function of things we take for granted and flips them around to offer instead a sense of infinite, open-ended possibilities.
