Oliver Beer
In conversation with Sun Man
When we gaze at the stars, we are actually locking eyes with starlight that has traveled from decades, millennia, trillions of years ago, or even from the primordial source of all things. A similar kind of direct, readily accessible time travel occurs, in a way, when encountering Oliver Beer’s solo exhibition, 'Three Nymphéas'.
— Sun Man, curator and translator
On the occasion of ‘Three Nymphéas’, Oliver Beer's third solo exhibition with the gallery, Almine Rech is pleased to share with you the conversation between the artist and Sun Man, curator and translator.
Oliver Beer is a visual artist and composer whose sculptures, paintings, installations, videos and immersive performances explore the hidden acoustic properties and inherent musicality of objects, bodies and architectural spaces. Drawing on his dual background in musical composition and visual art, his practice investigates how personal, cultural and familial relationships shape the ways we assign meaning to the objects around us.
