Night in the Museum' is a new publication from acclaimed British artist Ryan Gander. The book explores the act of viewing, through sculptures, paintings and prints in the Arts Council Collection, the UK?s largest loan collection of postwar British art. Pairing each figurative sculpture with a contemporary artwork, Gander sets up an objective relationship between the "viewing" sculpture and the painting or print that they are gazing at, provoking questions about the role of the artist, the artwork and the viewer. Containing brand new work created by Gander especially for the accompanying exhibition, and a text from Ossian Ward, 'Night in the Museum' provides a unique reflection on the role of looking in contemporary art. 00Exhibition: Longside Gallery Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK (16.07.-16.10.2016).
