It has often been said of Ugo Rondinone's exhibitions that they resemble group shows with works by several artists. The formal and stylistic diversity that typifies his practice is one in a series of slippages that the artist sets in motion; a continuous shift in register in which style, subject matter, title, references, relationships between parts and the whole, are skilfully played off against each other. Born in Zurich in 1964, Rondinone studied at the Hochschule fur Angewandte Kunst, Vienna, in the late 1980s, emerging alongside a generation of artists whose installations explore how a sense of self is defined by how we occupy both real and fictive space. His work spans painting, drawing, photography, video, sculpture, neon and sound. A search for connection, identification and signification les at the core of his practice.
