Things that mean things and things that look like they mean things (2008) by Ryan Gander, at Annet Gelink . -

I let somebody get under my skin is an ambiguous title which refers both to allowing someone to influence you, either at the very first moment – or sometimes afterwards. Ryan Gander made new works that are as multifaceted as his previous works. Besides film, video and photography, the show includes sculptures, wall texts and a wall paper on display. This diversity originates from his fascination in the world around him, from which he collects, investigates, stores and eventually processes (or not) things in works of art. This associative manner of working yields fascinating work which is both conceptual and intellectual, and very intimate and personal, in which the spectator is put to think about his viewing behavior.

Bedwyr Williams in the Bakery project space

In the Bakery project space, Annet Gelink Gallery presents a show by Bedwyr Williams (St. Asaph, Wales, 1974), consisting of a video registation of his earier performance 'Methodist to my Madness', surrouded by small sculptural works. 'Methodist to my Madness' is about the process of a performance, from beginning to end: from the invitation of the curator to dressing at the office of the gallery afterwards.

Performance: During the opening on Saturday 10 January, there will be a joint performance of Ryan Gander and Bedwyr Williams. Start: 5 p.m.
Fairs: In February Annet Gelink Gallery will participate in Art Rotterdam and ARCO Madrid, with work of amongst others Yael Bartana, Ryan Gander, Carla Klein and David Maljkovic.

Annet Gelink Gallery is open from Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. Visit the Annet Gelink Gallery for more information on the show.
