Alex Gawronski
The Invisible Man

Alex Gawronski constructs a space that doubles as both gallery and art-object, perpetually scrutinised by an unseen and absent subject. A new installation, The Invisible Man fictionalises the space of the Artspace gallery to broadly conceptualise the interrelationship between the institution of art, its audiences and the spatial models that house it.

Overall, The Invisible Man ruminates on the relationship between the institutional spaces of art, as well as the ‘institution of art’, and their engagement with persistent notions of artistic autonomy. The Invisible Man poses the perhaps post-historical but definitely paradoxical question of what an art world would look like in the absence of both artist and audience.
