Installation view of Unlimited: Art Basel, featuring Moments Contained (2022), 16 Jun 2022 – 19 Jun 2022

 

Moments Contained reconfigures the same fictional character of Price’s nine-foot sculpture Reaching Out in a new scale and pose, highlighting further the subtle shifts in presentation and perception that resonate throughout the artist’s practice. Price purposefully chooses not to portray specific people but instead presents imaginary, constructed characters. His works focus our attention on the systemic marginalisation inherent to public monuments, through the artist’s hybrid approach of traditional sculpting and intuitive digital technology. Moments Contained indicates a moment, an opportunity for understanding, connection and empathy.
