Title:
Tracking my your desire …

Steinle Contemporary, Munich, 2010

Description

„Tracking my your desire …“ addresses the issues of compulsion and volition in connection with flight and expulsion. His second solo exhibition at Steinle Contemporary revolves around bundles as an embodiment of both homelessness and unrestricted freedom to travel. 

Black ropes stretched across the room open up spaces, block paths and bunch together in bundles. Strips of felt, paint and wooden sticks are tied into the ropes to form sculptural hubs. Another work–both relief and painting–hangs on the wall, between the fittings anchoring the ropes. Entitled ‘Five Scenarios of Ideology… (Samples of the Politics of Aesthetics)’, this object includes four large removable books covered with coloured felt, which open up into another pictorial space. The means of drawing and painting are employed to probe visual correspondences for absence, destruction and control. Pages have been glued together, covered in paint, torn out. Like the ropes in the three-dimensional space of the gallery, lines spread over hundreds of pages, overlapping and clustering together, one of the books is empty except for traces of use.
