""This whole show is a kind of a fuck you to good taste. It's completely bonkers.""
""Discarded stuff is a massive influence. I love finding things and asking: what can I make this into? What kind of character can it become?""
""But for this, it's just looking back at everything I have, and seeing what kind of mad, kaleidoscopic space I can make of it.""
""They start to reveal themselves, but barely held together.""
Gary Card's exhibition, "Gathering Dust," showcases a chaotic installation at the Plaster Store in Soho. The display merges elements from his personal archive with new works and found materials, emphasizing a playful, DIY aesthetic. Downstairs offers an immersive experience with a variety of objects and textures, while upstairs features new head busts made from masking tape, reminiscent of whimsical children's shows. Card's approach highlights a profound influence of discarded materials and a desire to create escape through theatricality, shifting focus from client work to personal expression.
