MAURICIO GUILLEN
13 October - 20 November 2004

In the second gallery, the Mexican artist Mauricio Guillen will be showing a new video work, Night Shift. The piece follows the artist’s nocturnal surveillance of a security guard as he undertakes his duties and passes the time.  Guillen, whose work currently features in Newcontemporaries, often explores isolation and barriers, both physical and political.

Mauricio Guillen was born in Mexico City and lives and works in London. He studied for his MA at the Royal College of Art, London. Upcoming exhibitions include ‘Newcontemporaries’, September 2004. Recent exhibitions include Whitechapel Open, Whitechapel Art Gallery; Kunstlerhaus Mousononturm, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; Apex Art, New York; The Photographers Gallery, London and the Second International Biennale of Puerto Rico.
