For his first solo exhibition in New York, London-born, Berlin-based Simon Evans will present a selection of witty text-based collage works, assemblages and drawings that take the form of diagrams, charts, maps, lexicons, diary entries, inventories and cosmologies. In Island Time, Evans, a former pro-skateboarder and writer, will exhibit an exact copy of a tourist map of Berlin created with ball point pen and white out. Says Evans of his process, “Tracing things is a way of making something mine in a world which feels already filled with too much.”
