drain of progress

This exhibition comprises a set of one off photographs, drawings, paintings and prints and includes the launch of Zander's first book/Catalogue Raisonné (The Drain of Progress) that provides a unique view of a stage set upon which Zander's ongoing modernist experiment occurs. With the highest degree of sincerity Zander Blom questions the personal relevance and motives of the modernist visual artists before him. How did it feel to be the true "avant-garde"? Moreover, of what personal relevance is Modernism when viewed as a series of cultural movements that stretch back as far as the 1890's? His investigation of modernism is much like a child being presented with a watch, and in order to understand it - he immediately takes it apart.
