Strategies of deception

Strategies of Deception is the first London solo exhibition for the Franco-German artist partnership of Cecile Colle}{Ralf Nuhn. Composed as an experiment to critically take stock of their artistic activity, the exhibition pivots around the large modular sculpture "Exit-Wall" (2010), set up within the upper gallery as both a private spatial division and public beacon.
The balance of the exhibition is an exhaustive attempt to utilize the considerable amount of surplus materials and energy produced in creating Exit-Wall, posing a question of whether art creation truly allows us to gain critical distance from the materialism and growth-addiction of capitalist society. These varied remains, entitled "Collateral Damage", ask if it is possible to resolve the inherent contradictions between art's material and symbolic value.

Exhibition held at the Tenderpixel gallery, 10 Cecil Court, London WC2N 4HE.
