About

Tanya Leighton, established in 2008, is dedicated to developing a cross-disciplinary, trans-generational gallery programme with off-site projects, in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, critics, art historians, and curators. Its international exhibition programme reflects a variety of opinions and practices as well as Leighton’s associations with American and British experimental cinema, artist’s film and video, performance, minimal and conceptual art. Since opening its second location in Berlin in January 2015, the gallery has consolidated its position as one of the city’s foremost representatives of international contemporary art. Solo exhibitions by established and emerging artists intersperse with conceptually motivated projects and group exhibitions. The gallery aims to re-contextualise historical frameworks and practices, bringing marginalised figures back into focus.

TRIANGULATION

Preview: Saturday 30 April, 6–8pm

Tanya Leighton is pleased to announce ‘TRIANGULATION’ by Alejandro Cesarco, comprising a selection of works that the artist has configured into a single installation. In the space, three works – The Long Term (A Measure of Intimacy I), Long Casting (A Page on Regret), and Errata – are situated in a triangular relation that offsets a fourth, An Angry Silence. As a configuration, installation builds on the narrative potentials of triangulating objects as a mode of address. The exhibition’s title invokes triangulation to suggest an interest in deemphasizing a one-to-one correspondence between the viewer and each piece for the sake of intimating something that is more than the sum of its parts.

In science, triangulation is a technique used to amplify the validity of arguments by replicating the experiments by different means. In geometry, it is the process of determining an unknown location by forming triangles from known points. In psychology, it refers to a form of manipulation by means of indirect communication, using misdirection to coerce people. In the context of this exhibition, however, the term triangulation is primarily used to designate the geometrical figure formed by the perception two beings have of each other – be it two lovers or who we are and who we imagine to be – and the inevitable gaps that take place when perceiving the other. In this sense, triangulation calls into play various tactics of keeping the space of desire open or deferred and therefore active, most notably through discourse.

The relationship between desire and deferment is very old, as Canadian scholar and poet Ann Carson observes in her influential book, ‘Eros the Bittersweet’. In it, she studies one of the earliest descriptions of love as something at once “bitter” and “sweet”, found in Fragment 40 of Sappho’s surviving poetry. What follows is Carson’s translation.
