Marcius Galan
Three Sections, 2013, wood, floor wax and paint on wall installation view, White Cube, London
Marcius Galan explores the metaphorical capacities of space and our relation to it through his wide-ranging practice which includes installation, sculpture, photography and video. With a recognisably minimal aesthetic, Galan employs abstract geometry to delineate the political and social implications of his chosen environments, deconstructing the codes of objects established through everyday use. Whilst these configurations are always executed with graphic simplicity, Galan’s works are in fact complex material experiments that interrogate the functions, limits and frontiers of space and by extension, the socio-political systems which reside therein.
