Gander is an inventive polymath, a creator of worlds and teller of tales, whose making takes forms as varied as a lecture series entirely based on «loose associations,» a nonlinear
narrative of wildly disparate ideas and
images found and collected by the artist; re-creations of children's tent - forts sculpted in marble; the construction of complex mechanisms to generate a gentle breeze that wafts through a gallery; a conveyer belt carrying sculptures that can only be seen through one window; or detailed designs for an art school that may never be
realized.
I was fixated on everything being read clearly and hadn't
realized a painting could be interesting without that clarified
image of
narrative articulated on the canvas.
