The Facts
Ryan Gander's exhibition 'Maybe' opens at Towner Eastbourne on November 14, 2026, marking the artist's first UK solo exhibition in nearly 20 years. The show spans three rooms on the top floor and extends into public spaces, featuring new works alongside existing and rarely seen pieces. Highlights include 'Closed systems' (2024), an installation of repurposed toys, and 'Ryan Waiting' (2024), Gander's first AI and virtual reality work. A new series of paintings, 'For I am a Sign', developed with his non-verbal autistic son, explores verbal and non-verbal communication. The exhibition runs through April 11, 2027.
The Signal
Gander's conceptually driven practice, known for playful and associative narratives, is presented by Lisson Gallery, which represents the artist. The exhibition's focus on imagination and perception aligns with Gander's broader exploration of how art can reshape everyday experience. For collectors, the inclusion of new media works like the AI/VR piece signals Gander's continued evolution, while the collaborative paintings with his son add a personal dimension that may deepen interest in his practice.
