ABOUT THE ARTIST
Terence Gower (b 1965) is a Canadian artist working in New York, Mexico City, and France. Gower works in many media including video, sculpture, drawing, installation, sound, and full-scale architectural constructions. Working on a number of bodies of work concurrently, each in research and production for several years, even decades, his installations are often reconfigured each time they are exhibited. As a result of his research, Gower often appropriates period photography, narrative and documentary film, archival material, and historical artifacts. Interested in how abstract forms represent abstract ideas, including ideological concepts, much of his work is spent studying and collecting forms, mostly from the realms of architecture and art.
This exhibition brings together three projects that each demonstrate a different process of form generation, in several different media, including sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and installation.
