'An isolated investigator without bias and tradition, without forces of mental society acting upon him... would be blind and thoughtless,' is the assertion behind Liam Gillick's latest exhibition, 'The Thought Style Meets the Thought Collective'.

利亚姆·吉利克是一位文脉艺术家。他的毕生作品偏离了自治的象牙塔，断言一切都是某物的一部分，如果不了解整体，你就看不见它。

他最近的展览是基于人类学家玛丽·道格拉斯(Mary Douglas)和社会学家路德维克·弗莱克(Ludwik Fleck)的断言，即“一个没有偏见和传统的孤立调查员，没有精神社会的力量对他采取行动，也没有那个社会演变的影响，将是盲目和轻率的”。

“思维方式与思想集体相遇”是一种敏锐的视角，通过创造性作品的集体生产，紧张和凝聚力的产生和减弱。在贝瑟纳尔·格林的莫琳·帕利的画廊里-这本身就是颠覆艺术的麦加-展出的作品涵盖了上世纪90年代吉利克的一些集体创作作品，以及他自己创作的新作品。他在其中一部YBAs的作品中漫步，拿起他的新书“从十九世纪九十年代到十九世纪九十年代”-这是对这位艺术家开创性项目、装置、方法和实践的一项精选调查。一个看到一段小小艺术史进展的坚实机会。

Gillick is renowned as an artist of context; his life's works have strayed from the ivory tower of autonomy and made the assertion that everything is part of something. Pictured: When Do We Need More Tractors? Five Plans (detail), 1999. Courtesy the artist and Maureen Paley, London

The exhibition takes place at Maureen Paley's Bethnal Green gallery, a Mecca for disruptive art; Gillick's collectively made work from the 1990s is on display, as well as new pieces he's crafted himself.
