biography

Toby Christian was selected for Contemporary Art Society's ARTfutures 2008 held at Bloomberg SPACE, London by Tania Kovats.

 

statement

"Like a comedian owning a new joke or an inventive magician perfecting a trick, Toby Christian continues to stand on his stage and make magic. Christian employs slight of hand with matter, pulling off the simplest of sculptural performances - one thing turned into another. A moment of perplexity becomes fixed and immutable, formed after his long walk in a Borges labyrinthine Garden of Forking Paths. Christian is always aware of the infinite possibilities that a single fixed step eliminates. His works contain the considerable filtration of thought necessary to achieve such deceptively simple works. A carved stone snowball; an impossibly flaccid nail; a pencil line drawing of a line - solidified gestures of an intelligent magician at work."

- Tania Kovats, 2008
