Deprecated: Function WC_Product::get_dimensions was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 3.0! By default, get_dimensions has an argument set to true so that HTML is returned. This is to support the legacy version of the method. To get HTML dimensions, instead use wc_format_dimensions() function. Pass false to this method to return an array of dimensions. This will be the new default behavior in future versions. in /var/www/vhosts/galloire.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114

UVA (United Visual Artists) is a London based collective founded in 2003 by British artist Matt Clark. UVA’s diverse body of work integrates new technologies with traditional media such as sculpture, performance and site-specific installation.  Drawing from sources ranging from ancient philosophy to theoretical science, the practice explores the cultural frameworks and natural phenomena that shape our cognition, creating instruments that manipulate our perception and expose the relativity of our experiences.
UVA (United Visual Artists) is a London based collective founded in 2003 by British artist Matt Clark. UVA’s diverse body of work integrates new technologies with traditional media such as sculpture, performance and site-specific installation.  Drawing from sources ranging from ancient philosophy to theoretical science, the practice explores the cultural frameworks and natural phenomena that shape our cognition, creating instruments that manipulate our perception and expose the relativity of our experiences. Rather than material objects, UVA’s works are better understood as events in time, in which the performance of light, sound and movement unfolds.  UVA has been commissioned internationally by institutions including the Barbican Curve Gallery, London, England; Manchester International Festival, Manchester, England; Royal Academy of Arts, London, England; Serpentine Gallery, London, England; The Wellcome Trust, London, England; Towner Gallery, East Sussex, England; Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England; YCAM, Tokyo,  Japan, and others. Previous group exhibitions include Blain|Southern, London, England; Riflemaker, London, England; Bryce Wolkowitz, New York; Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea; and Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China.  In 2019 UVA staged Other Spaces, their largest solo show to date. The exhibition was presented in partnership with The Vinyl Factory & in collaboration with Fondation Cartier Pour L’art Contemporain, Paris. UVA is collected by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, France and MONA, Australia. Public works are sited internationally in Toronto, Dubai, Philadelphia and London.  The practice has an open and inclusive approach to collaboration and have worked with artists including choreographer Benjamin Millepied and the Paris Opéra Ballet, filmmaker Adam Curtis, and musicians Massive Attack, Battles, and James Blake. Most recently UVA collaborated with Christopher Bailey for the Autumn/Winter 2018 fashion runway show at Burberry.

Etymologies I (Parallelogram), 2017

Details

  • Description: Etymologies is series of geometric canvases illuminated by transitioning text drawing on the work of Roland Barthes, Marcel Proust, Daniel Dennett, and others. Collectively, the series addresses consciousness, authorship and memory. Algorithmically driven, the text recalculates, reduces and expands, motivated by, but not a direct reflection of, human instruction. It suggests the presence of a co-contributor who simultaneously deconstructs the source text and the concepts of independent authorship, authenticity, the nature of appropriation in the Information Age and more importantly, independent readership. Words are reduced to pure patterns which in turn, incite the viewer to rebuild order and the unique shape of each canvas highlights how our experience is shaped not only by the content, but by the environment in which it is viewed. And by viewing the work, we engage in a process of inference, seeking out logic and poetry, while simultaneously submitting to the complex, mechanical mind. The words of Roland Barthes resound; “the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author”.
