Ryan Gander's practice draws on multiple layers of fact and fiction.
The work he is showing in the Triennial,
Robbed us with the sight of what we should have known has three
parts. The work comprises: a sun-bleached wall that bares the imprint
of missing research material from the artist's studio, alongside is
an unsolvable crossword that incorporates Gander's invented word
'mitim', and a photograph of a milestone outside a council estate,
made from the debris of 'historically significant modernist buildings'.
Drawn together, these disparate elements make subtle narratives
within everyday life visible.
