"I'm currently in that floating point of several considerations which
bring the name of the iron bird scream in its flight through the
automatic dusk, ...In the Name of Kernel!" - Kristopher Kubasik
Project Gentili is pleased to present At My Limit : In the Name of
Kernel!, an exhibition of hd video, digital prints, and text by
Barcelona-based artist Joan Leandre. As the first gallery exhibition in
the artist's extensive history, At My Limit : In the Name of Kernel!
introduces Leandre's critical practice and politics of media
interpretation and reverse engineering to a new audience.
"The Dr Strangelove of computing, Leandre loves the bomb and knows its
mechanisms well enough to transform them instantly into the workings of
a multi-layered ambiguous narrative, esoteric and seductive at the same
time. This is what we can see in his latest project, In the Name of
Kernel (2006 - ongoing). The kernel, the heart of every operating
system, becomes the myth around which coagulates a symbolic event
combining travel literature, the alchemy tradition and science fiction,
terrorism and conspiracy theories, programming and mountaineering, 3D
modelling and satellite mapping, hallucinations and revelations. A high
definition metaphor for those who love the clear air of the high peaks."
- Domenico Quaranta
In 2004 Joan Leandre participated in the Whitney Biennale and has
exhibited his work in a variety of museums including: Triennale, Milan
(1999); Centre George Pompidou, Paris (2000 and 2007); American Museum
of the Moving Image, New York (2003); Ars Electronica, Linz (2003); and
the Laboral Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Gijòn (2007).
