Liam Gillick presents Annlee You Proposes (2001) in the Buk-Seoul Museum of Art’s exhibition 《No Ghost Just A Shell》 at In connection with the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands, the exhibition aims to situate the trends of 2000s art and their significance within art historical currents, and to examine, 20 years on from their inception, the issues of being and subjectivity that have emerged in the way artworks are produced or socially constructed in the post-digital age, as the image as data and generative AI technologies seem to foreshadow the future.
In 2000, Liam Gillick designed a low table, chairs and shelves for common area at the Center for Contemporary Art Kitakyushu. In the video work Annlee You Proposes, the public installation he designed and Annlee are animated in 3D. On the screen, Annlee talks about the history of the city, the construction of identity, and the half-public, half-private spaces that were almost lost as targets of the atomic bomb.
