This exhibition brought together two artists working in parallel, namely Liam Gillick and Adam Pendleton. The work of both artists operates within an understanding that forms of abstraction cannot evade the contradictions of history and the enduring pains of the present. By destroying the abstract via making it concrete, the ambient and the temporary are heightened and become an enduring associative abstraction that replaces the lack in the artwork. Tackling the job of producing something concrete through a process of abstraction neither reproduces abstraction nor does it provide us with anything truly autonomous. It produces a lack and points towards further potentially endless processes of abstraction.

This exhibition catalog presents the exhibited paintings, prints, wall graphics, and films by both artists, with an essay by Tom McDonough.
