Everything I Have
© Simon Evans – Selected Works
Schon mal daran gedacht, alles festzuhalten, was ihr besitzt? Simon Evans hat es getan. Seine Arbeiten werden derzeit in der James Cohan Gallery ausgestellt.
The exhibition Island Time will be installed over two galleries with titles such as Escape and Rescue Plan and Everything I Have that point to inspiration taken from both the mundane and personal. The title of the show Island Time is a reference to Robinson Crusoe and the hand-made objects that were critical to his survival on a desert island — a metaphor that draws connections between the state of being shipwrecked, to the role of the artist as an outsider, to the artist’s personal biography living as an expatriate in a foreign city. Evident in the work is Evan’s preoccupation with counting and charting — an activity also key to survival as a castaway.
