Roger Hiorns

Roger Hiorns is a leading British artist of his generation. In 2009 he was nominated for the renowned Turner Prize.His exhibition at Kunsthaus CentrePasquArt, which will subsequently be presented at Galerie Rudolfinum, is his largest solo show to date.Hiorns' installations and sculptures generate and fill gaps between disparate ideas: between construction and destruction, theology and technology, temporariness and performance, temporariness and permanence, authoritarian control and spontaneity.His work is shaped by a functional material presence, which however is always combined with a sense of imaginary, poetic or esoteric.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Kunsthaus CentrePasquArt, Biel, 1 February - 5 April 2015, and at Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague, 28 May - 9 August 2015.
