简介

Born in 1982 in Swansea, United Kingdom, Dan Rees lives and works in Berlin. Rees uses a range of media including painting, sculpture, photography and film. His practice explores the legacy and language of Conceptual Art using a slightly tongue in cheek approach, at times layering autobiographical details with art historical references. Many of Rees' works stem from an exchange – a game of ping-pong, for instance – or a self-reflexive collaboration with more established artists whose practices have influenced his own. In this way, he acknowledges the constant circulation and appropriation of ideas and forms within the arts. Rees often uses humor, wordplay and strategic mis-readings to create new associations around well-known artworks. In doing so, he adopts an approach characterized by genuine curiosity and a down-to-earth engagement that stands in marked contrast to more hermetic contemporary references to the Conceptual tradition. 

Recent solo exhibitions include “Madina Warfare” (with Nicolas Ceccaldi) at Sandy Brown, Berlin (2010), “They Don’t Make Them Like This Anymore” at T293, Naples (2009), “Dan Rees / Fredrik Værslev - Shelf Paintings (Pottery in October) (decorations by Dan Rees)” at Standard (Oslo), Oslo (2009), “Junk On a Thing” at Johan Berggren Gallery, Malmö (2009), “Somewhere Near The Black Mountain Hills” (with Sean Edwards) at Tanya Leighton Gallery, Berlin (2009) and “If It Looks Like It and Feels Like It” at Galerie Andreas Huber, Vienna (2009). His work has also been shown as part of “A Very, Very Long Cat” at Wallspace Gallery, New York (2010), “Richard Prince and the Revolution” at ProjecteSD, Barcelona (2009), “Grey Matter” at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh (2009), “Without” at Yvon Lambert, Paris (2007) and “Some Time Waiting” at Kadist Art Foundation, Paris (2007).
