banks violette at: gladstone gallery, new york, USA from: july 06 – august 17, 2007

in his first solo show at the gladstone gallery the american artist banks violette presents several new works.

‘a battery of materials, and their deployment in stage-like and other performative and theatrical platforms, has also kept the practice grounded within a rich matrix of art historical, philosophical and socio-economic associations. as likely to use steel and salt as fabric and light, violette shifts a viewer’s perspective by always implying more than what is on view. there is always a ghostly other that sits besides the installations and which frequently exists long-afterwards in the memories of spectators.’
