Gagosian
2 rue de Ponthieu
75008 Paris
The gallery Gagosian / London presents the exhibition A Burn Scar Visible from Space by Taryn Simon.
In the Black Square photographs, Simon presents objects, documents, and individuals in a black field given the same dimensions as Kasimir Malevich’s 1915 painting of the same name. Selected without any intentional categorization, Simon’s subjects form a randomized index of human invention and activity. They are fragments of recent history—detached from context and freighted with anxiety.
