Coinciding with the exhibition “A syntax of dependency” (03.FEB-22.MAY.11), presented by M HKA as an artistic and discursive dialogue between the two New York-based artists Liam Gillick and Lawrence Weiner, NICC will be organising an artists talk with Liam Gillick moderated by Nicolaus Schafhausen.
Together with artists such as Rirkrit Tiravanija and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Gillik is often defined as being involved with the group of artists for whom Nicolas Bourriaud coined the term, Relational Aesthetics. In 2002, Gillick was nominated for the annual Turner Prize. Gillick's artistic output is characterized by the use of text and the diversity of his media (architecture, sculpture, graphic design, film and music). His artworks are often designed as spaces for open social interaction whose actual meaning are to be constantly redefined within the situation of the exhibition.

The curator Nicolaus Schafhausen was born in 1965 in Düsseldorf. Since 2006 he is the artistic and financial director of Witte de With, Center for Contemporary art in Rotterdam. in 2009 he selected Liam Gillick as first non-German artist for the German Pavilion Venice Biennale. Sharing an affinity with Gillick’s practices, he examines art practice often in relation to contemporary social-political issues.
