|
Uriel Orlow is a Swiss artist who also occasionally writes and who lives and works in London. Orlow's work tackles the impossibility of narrating or representing the past and addresses the spatial conditions of history and memory.

Uriel Orlow, 1942 (Poznan), video, installation view ifa Galerie Berlin, 2005
Spanning locations in Afr ica, the Arctic, Eastern Europe and Switzerland, his work can often be seen to employ a method of both horizontal-lateral and vertical-archival investigation in order to explore blind spots in the production and dissemination of knowledge. Orlow's modular installations comprising video, photography, drawing, sound and text, can be seen as a re-mix of the 'real' which permeates perception and performs a subtle operation that activates the potential of ruptures and ruins as ethical concerns of the present.
O rlow's work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in private and public collections as well as a number of monographic publications. Orlow is a research fellow at the University of Westminster and for the past four years he has been co-curating the quarterly Betsey's Salon, an interdisciplinary arts salon in London.
