Scott Lyall
Lyall is known for sculptural “settlements”: installation works that lay out relations between material, the gallery space, and his bodies of research to traverse different spatio-temporal dimensions and contexts.
“ My work combines effects of precise geometric calculation with a set of more spontaneously chosen art and design elements. References may be drawn from art history or celebrity cults, information culture, or political-economic abstraction. As such, no single concept guarantees the relationship of these elements, and no spectator is imagined to provide a definitive interpretation. The subject of the work retains an indiscernible status – naked exposure to, relief in, perpetuation of – the aleatory. ”
