curated by Raimundas Malašauskas
Lisson Gallery

11/7/2013 - 7/9/2013
Alex Bailey, Liudvikas Buklys, Eduardo Costa, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Gintaras Didziapetris, Elizabeth Hoak-Doering, Phanos Kyriacou, Aditya Mandayam, Darius Mikšys, Elena Narbutaitė, Rosalind Nashashibi, Sasha Suhareva, Ola Vasiljeva, Miet Warlop.
Fusiform Gyrus is the region of the brain that controls facial recognition, as well as the title of the Lisson Gallery’s invited summer show, curated this year by Raimundas Malašauskas. Following on from the critical success of his recently launched Lithuania and Cyprus Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale – which received an honourable mention for Best National Participation at the awards ceremony – the Vilnius-born curator is bringing 14 artists to create new works in performance, sculpture, poetry, painting, photography and installation throughout both galleries, the titles of each piece also being an anagram, or a misreading, of ‘Fusiform Gyrus’.
From a holographic laser shining across one space and a sculpture made from three conflicting flavours of yoghurt in another, to the sight of a fully laid table crawling across the floor and three giant pairs of trousers walking, laughing and whispering to each other, ‘Fusiform Gyrus’ promises to be an original and mind-altering glimpse of contemporary international art practice. Featuring many artists from his homeland of Lithuania, such as Elena Narbutaitė and Gintaras Didžiapetris, as well as a group of young Belgian artists including Miet Warlop and Koenraad Dedobbeleer, the curator Malašauskas has also invited the acclaimed British artist Rosalind Nashashibi and the elder statesman of Argentina’s conceptual scene, Eduardo Costa.
