| Description |
In his most recent UK show High, Tony Oursler used both spaces of the Lisson Gallery to exhibit new installations and key earlier works. Oursler's practice explores a complex web of societal constraints and psychological dilemmas. The new body of work developed for this exhibition delves into the real/fantastic morass of obsessive desires and needs, or the ‘reason’ of the irrational.
The new works in this show conjure these psycho-social fractures in tragicomic fashion and they follow the artist's signature practice of fusing sculptural forms with video. Other works on show will represent something of a departure, as Oursler experiments with more pictorial modes of video presentation.
This catalogue features the transcription of an extensive conversation between the artist and David Rimanelli, with Jacqueline Humphries and Karolin Kober. |
