Future Perfect is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Nathan Coley in Southeast Asia. Bringing together photographic and sculptural work from the past five years, the exhibition complements Coley’s representation in the current Biennale of Sydney.
‘From the People, To the People, For the People’ explores the ritualised nature of protest and mourning, particularly with regards to their expression in civic space. More broadly, the exhibition explores how architecture conditions social behaviour, and questions the place of religion and ideology in the public sphere.
Nathan Coley (born 1967 in Glasgow, Scotland) is one of Britain’s best-known artists, having been nominated for the Turner Prize, the most prestigious award for a UK-based artist under fifty, in 2007. Coley’s work is in the collections of many important public institutions such as the Scottish National Gallery and numerous international private collections.
Our show will open with a reception on Friday, 7 March at 7pm, where the artist will also be present.
