Uri Aran,
b. 1977, Israel; lives in New York. Aran’s drawings, videos, and
sculptures animate
the space between purpose and improvisation, work and instinct, man and
animal. Concerned with organising structures, he explores
the notion of narrative in his video works; using ready-made objects and
hand
crafted objects in his sculptural arrangements in a way that reveals the
underlying hierarchies implicit in the culture of everyday language and
objects.
Aran graduated from Columbia
University in 2007. His solo presentations include
Five
minutes before, South London Gallery, London; and
here, here and here, Kunsthalle Zürich, both 2013. His work has
also been shown at Whitney Biennial, 2014 and Venice Biennial 2013.
