Corban Walker \;is an internationally renowned artist based in Ireland who creates installations\, sculpture and drawings that focus on human-made systems and perceptions of scale.
\n
\nIn this exhibition Walker&rsquo\;s distinctive sculptural and installation works are sited in \;Crawford Art Gallery&rsquo\;s historic Gibson and Long Room galleries where they disorientate and reorientate audience perceptions to navigate known familiar spaces of \;the \;gallery.
\n
\nIn removing the Gallery&rsquo\;s significant Collection works from the part wood-panelled Gibson Galleries\, Walker will create a new work responding to this context which addresses the interplay between space and perception. Consisting of a mirrored installation\, the work disrupts and constructs alternative conditions where the viewer may become part of the object.
\n
\nAlong with interventions of recent glass and amber acrylic works including \;Untitled (10 x 4 mitre) \;and \;129-40\, \;Walker has sited the installation \;TV Man \;astride the 19th-century grand staircase where the artist&rsquo\;s image fits\, to scale\, in a \;65-inch \;screen. Where paintings of eighteenth-century luminaries of the British Empire have previously been sited\, Walker constructs and reclaims marginalised histories and\, in the process\, also underwrites the future.
\n
\nIn addition\, Walker&rsquo\;s perceptive selection of over thirty works from the Gallery&rsquo\;s Collection in the eighteenth-centuryLong Room\, further brings the artist&rsquo\;s perspective to the fore and questions &ndash\; as Corban Walker has noted &ndash\; &lsquo\;how we orientate ourselves to recognizable objects and environments\, both in very specific compositions and by opposite stylistic means.&rsquo\;

\nWalker&rsquo\;s specific philosophies of scale and sensitivity to local and cultural contexts are central to how he defines and realises his work. As artist and critic Brian O&rsquo\;Doherty has written &ldquo\;Corban Walker establishes himself as measure of his own art as body as mirror\, module\, standard.
