Gabriel Kuri: Before Contingency, After the Fact : After the Fact, Before Contingency

This catalogue has been produced for the South London Gallery exhibition Gabriel Kuri: before contingency after the fact, 29 September - 27 November 2011. The publication includes an essay by the South London Gallery's Director Margot Heller, a selection of colour photographs of the exhibition and a selection of black and white research photographs. "Contingency or fact: which comes first? This is one of the many questions posed by Gabriel Kuri in his South London Gallery exhibition. The difficulty in answering that question gives an early indication of what is to follow. In a new body of works which exist independently, but which together presents a series of interconnected arguments, Kuri poses numerous seemingly unanswerable questions, sending us off on multiple tangents, only to coax us back to the beginning to be prompted to start afresh."
