"We begin with the provisional assumption that wheeled travelers fall quite neatly into two mutually exclusive categories: Roadtrippers and Campers. Roadtrippers experience their sojourns virtually through the mediating frame of the windshield, safe within a metaphoric (and largely illusory) bubble of interiority. They are akin to the subjects of cinema. Campers yearn for the nitty gritty details of contact. They position themselves on the front lines, negotiating locality and globality. Camping for the photographers Klaus Knoll and Cella constitutes what Gilles Deleuze might have called a �happy deterritorialization.� Claire Daigle, San Francisco Art Institute
SIMON LEE, London presents IN LINES AND REALIGNMENTS
26 June - 28 August 2013
Simon Lee Gallery is proud to present In Lines and Realignments, a group exhibition curated by Luiza Teixeira de Freitas and Thom O'Nions which brings together the work of six artists currently living and working in Sao Paulo along with documentation of a work by Brazilian conceptual artist Cildo Meireles
Driss Ouadahi is an Algerian artist, born in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1959. Throughout his artistic career, Driss Ouadahi has created special links between architecture and painting. The resulting works are abstract compositions featuring grid patterns, whose density evokes the architecture of the outskirts of big cities and their tightly woven networks of high-rise housing.
