Microcosms for plastic grapes, pizza boxes, passport photos, silkscreened websites, and other stranded ephemera –Uri Aran plays with the way endless repetition can strip the banal of its meaning. His drawings, videos, and sculptures animate the space between purpose and improvisation, work and instinct, man and animal.

Uri Aran (b. 1977 Israel) lives in New York. Aran graduated from Columbia University in 2007. His solo presentations include Five minutes before, South London Gallery, London; and here, here and here, Kunsthalle Zürich, both 2013. His work has also been shown at Whitney Biennial, 2014 and Venice Biennial 2013.
