(Eng/Spanish)

Published by the South London Gallery for Gabriel Kuri’s solo exhibition, Before Contingency After the Fact,
29 September – 27 November 2011. The publication includes an essay by the SLG’s Director Margot Heller, a selection of colour photographs of the exhibition and a collection of black and white research photographs.

The title of the exhibition „implies a state of lingering doubt“, observes Vincenzo de Bellis, the curator of this Mexican artist’s show at the Museion. A dialectic tension – physical, content-based, and semantic – runs through the exhibition, as a tool for meddling with the viewer’s beliefs.

The book is a wordless visual document, featuring full-bleed color images that capture the exhibition and each artist's contribution.
