Nicolas Moulin Blanklümdermilq
FREE ADMISSION - ALL WELCOME!
Exhibition: 13 June – 1 August 2009
Site Gallery is pleased to present the first UK solo exhibition Blanklümdermilq by Berlin-based artist Nicolas Moulin. Shortlisted for this year’s prestigious
Prix Marcel Duchamp, Moulin began a three-month residency at the University of Sheffield in February 2009 and the exhibition at Site will show a range of his recent works in video, photography, sculpture and sound including two new commissions.
Moulin is fascinated by strange worlds, be they the vast, deserted landscapes of his Novomond series or his disturbing VIDERPARIS; large-scale photographs of apparently familiar Paris streets, where the facades have been concreted over to a height of several metres. His current interest in the built environment and the way people are conditioned and manipulated by the buildings and the spaces that surround them forms the context of the exhibition. Inspired by the sci-fi universe of Philip K Dick and the dystopian other world of J G Ballard, Moulin’s work speaks of a landscape shaped by urban and technological mythologies.
