Art & Leisure and Art & Leisure presents work by Dante Carlos in his first show in the UK.
Raised in southern California, Carlos is a graphic designer based in Minneapolis. In addition to his own practice, he has been senior designer at the Walker Art Center since 2009. As with his work at the Walker and his work with collaborators—from furniture and landscape designers ROLU, to his sister Debbie, a Michigan-based artist/photographer—Carlos uses graphics, a wink and a nudge, and an economy of means to create visual entry points into different types of knowledge.
Art & Leisure… centres on an editioned book, produced by LCBA, that will be displayed in the space and will be available to purchase during the exhibition. Carlos uses the form and function of the calendar, creating a casual polemic and a reorganisation of days. A calendar consisting only of Saturdays and Sundays, Art & Leisure… is a book that becomes an exhibition, a proposition, a utopia, and a joke. In a social climate where the simple act of taking time ‘off the clock’ and doing something without intrinsic market—but human—value becomes something unintentionally quixotic, Art & Leisure… re-imagines our relationship to time, labour and art practices.
