It brings together groups of works that have never before been viewed simultaneously, and reveals the complex nature of the artist&#8217;s research. The title refers to a slide presentation made in collaboration with an advertising strategist and designer that, by charting the course of a specific solidarity campaign between Wales and Nicaragua started in the 1980s, questions how pre-&#8220;clicktivist&#8221; modes of social engagement, activism, and international solidarity can remain relevant today. As Dieter Roelstraete writes in his essay contribution, &#8220;The work of Dan Rees touches upon a wide range of topics, subjects, and issues, but one dominant, recurring preoccupation doubtlessly concerns the politics of taste. &#8216;Taste&#8217; &#8211; its cultural corollaries, its political over and undertones, and most importantly its social sources &#8211; is one of Rees&#8217;s preferred problems. And where it is addressed most directly and unapologetically &#8211; that is to say, in the so-called Artex paintings &#8211; is exactly where his work becomes most willingly, egregiously &#8216;problematic.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>with special thanks to Tanya Leighton Gallery and Mousse Publishing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday July 10th, from 5pm @ Motto Berlin Please join us to celebrate the launch of Dan Rees&#8217; new monograph, Road Back to Relevance.
