Private Art Gallery Visit Series
January 31st, 2025 @ Andréhn-Schiptjenko
Columbia alumni were welcomed by Andréhn-Schiptjenko gallery co-founder Ciléne Andréhn and exhibiting artist Terence Gower for a private guided tour of latest works by Canadian artist Terence Gower (b 1965).
Terence Gower 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.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Many art enthusiasts among our alumni have expressed a desire to explore contemporary art and understand the process of building an art collection, often wondering, “Where do I even begin?”
This series was created to address these questions and more. Each visit includes a guided tour led by an artist or curator, followed by a discussion at a Paris art gallery. It provides a unique opportunity for alumni and galleries to connect, fostering meaningful relationships around the world of contemporary art.
