Gordon Hall: Turn Back

DOCUMENT is pleased to present TURN BACK, Gordon Hall’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.

TURN BACK includes new sculptural, photographic, and light-based works which range from recreations and “un-makings” of recognizable items to wholly abstract forms. These sculptures interrogate the potential for objects to affect us emotionally, socially, and physically, asking us to consider the poetics of everyday objects by shifting their recognizability and functionality. As a sculptor and performance-maker, Hall’s background as a dancer informs their  approach to sculpture, inquiring into the capacity of static objects to function like performing bodies.
