Ben Carlton Turner
Calling Home
Apr 2 – Apr 2, 2017
Gait is pleased to present Ben Carlton Turner, Calling Home. This exhibition presents a text based projection, an installation of photographs, and a large scale illustration on the rooftop project space. Collectively, these visual works reinforce the aesthetic principles set through Turner’s most recent book, Hotel Sequence.
In conjunction with Hotel Sequence, Calling Home visualizes the fluidity of language where the residue of place and memory collide. Locating moments of beauty in destruction and joy within terror, Calling Home opens up these systems for the viewer to fully explore. Operating outside of urgency, Turner highlights moments out of context, allowing only for the residue to communicate. By exposing the opposite within the signifier, Calling Home makes space for the moment after combustion and subsequent evaporation.
On view by appointment only through April 9th: gaitprojectsla@gmail.com
