Description
"Douglas Gordon: Magic is sometimes very close to nothing at all" is on view through Saturday, August 22, at Gagosian, Beverly Hills. On the gallery’s walls, ceiling, and floor—and spilling onto the building’s exterior and the street beyond—is a selection of Gordon’s text works, including such key early examples in vinyl as "Meaning and Location" (1990). This renders a biblical promise in two different versions in circular form, distinguishing them through the shift of a comma: “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise” and “Truly, I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise.”
