In a career spanning more than four decades, Charles Gaines has become known for conceptually rigorous and formally compelling works exploring aesthetics, language, politics, and systems. He has played a key role in the advancement of conceptual art, and much of his work involves precise, self-assigned instructions as well as series comprising interrelated works. Each work in a series is dependent on the one immediately prior, establishing a sequential lineage. Gaines shared conceptual art’s skepticism toward the privileging of creative genius, as he became fascinated by the possibilities that could be explored within the limits of systems. Influenced by the chance procedures of John Cage as well as by Tantric Buddhist drawings generated through specific yogic visions, Gaines came to disavow Western notions of the role of imagination in art.
