EXTERNAL PROJECT: UGO RONDINONE
19 SEPTEMBER – 19 NOVEMBER 2001

Ugo Rondinone’s diverse practice encompasses video and installation, photography, painting and drawing. His exterior neon works have been seen around Europe, in Paris, Zurich, Basel, the Kunsthaus Glarus and in Siena. "Mounted on the sides of buildings like little beacons of hope and encouragement, the signs look like the real thing – that is like actual advertisements of some sort. Yet there is reason for doubt in that they are completely anonymous, no name, no ‘phone number, no obvious commercial promotion, nothing to indicate what product or service or entity they represent." (Jan Avgikos, first published in Ugo Rondinone, Guided By Voices, Hatje Cantz, 1999) Ugo Rondinone lives and works in New York. He has exhibited widely internationally, including Rome (Palazzo delle Espositione, New York (Matthew Marks), Aarhus (Kunstmuseum) and London (Sadie Coles).
