David Dale Gallery

David Dale Gallery presented the first UK solo exhibition by Swiss artist Claudia Comte. Incorporating large-scale wall murals, wood-cuts, and sculptures produced while on residency in South Africa, Comte presented her characteristic form of irreverent and joyful referentiality. Employing a lightness of touch across references as wide as Minimalism to Disney, Comte produced an exemplar in art history pick ‘n’ mix. Forms become reformed with new meaning, and shapes lose all previous connotations in this most democratic use of signifiers. Creating a parallel of our normal interpretation, Comte involves us all in naïve complicity.

Additionally, David Dale Gallery hosted Dan Miller’s The Cosmati Edition in the foyer space and presented the gallery’s first permanent commission, Nicolas Party’s Carrot Stairs.
