World Dutch conceptual artist Hans Eijkelboom’s work is very much in line with the deadpan, seemingly mechanistic note-taking of Ed Ruscha and Hans-Peter Feldman. In Paris*New York*Shanghai, Eijkelboom creates a clever and witty comparative study of three major contemporary metropolises, each selected for having been (or promising to be) the cultural capital of its time-Paris during the nineteenth century; New York, the twentieth; and Shanghai, the twenty-first.

Their sculpture, video and photographic works all generate a unique atmosphere of concentration and relaxed pleasure. The mood of their work ranges from the humorous – a pair of clay figures, for example, titled Mick Jagger and Brian Jones go home satisfied after composig ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ – to the banal – a photographic series devoted to Airports – and even the apparently invisible – their Untitled installation simulating, through minutely detailed polyurethane sculptures, an unfinished exhibition site.
