Depending on how one is counting, British artist Ryan Gander will soon have either two or three exhibitions open in New York. The Public Art Fund has installed The Happy Prince, a public art monument, in the southeast corner of Central Park, and the Guggenheim is set to open “Intervals: Ryan Gander,” a new site-specific installation in its reading room, on Friday. Meanwhile, uptown, there is a far stranger show at the consistently pleasurable alternative space Triple Candie called “An Exhibition That Will Tell You Nothing About Ryan Gander.” According to that show’s introductory placard, the work on view is “related to but not representative of Ryan Gander’s work.” It also notes, in what could be an all-time-great curatorial statement: “If you are unfamiliar with Gander’s art, let us say this: it is simultaneously nothing and everything at the same time.” The works on display are almost completely black so they do not photograph especially well. Make the trip to 148th Street.
