highlights - Anastasi/Bradshaw/Gefeller/Hemsworth/Hendricks/Houlihan
The exhibition "highlights" departs from the usual concept of an exhibition based on thematic coherence. The focus shifts to an internal gallery perspective, highlighting attention-grabbing works. These pieces have generated the most interest over the past two years, provoking numerous inquiries and capturing the attention of curators and collectors alike. The way we perceive these works is crucial. The exhibition raises questions about the visual appeal of an artwork.
Selected works by various artists are showcased in the exhibition. From William Anastasi, there are conceptual pieces, a large-scale "Burst Drawing," and a "Blind Drawing." Dove Bradshaw presents works that explore the phenomenon of time, including "Notation VII" and a piece from the "Contingency Paintings" series. Andreas Gefeller offers works oscillating between documentation and construction from the "Supervisions" series and "The Japan Series." Gerard Hemsworth's original compositions inhabit flat pictorial spaces. Jochem Hendricks showcases monochrome "Concetti" created with firearms. Lastly, Benjamin Houlihan presents works emerging from everyday observations, such as "Mensa" and a shifting light piece.
