Der Rausch

The substantive basis of the exhibition 'Der Rausch' is a shared love for matter or the idea of the object or thing as a sensory seducer. Whether it concerns a painting, sculpture, performance or video, the "sensual" experience is central. Sometimes seductive and attractive, sometimes uncomfortable or even repulsive. The work of art as an intermediary for a sensory, physical sensation in the viewer based on the personal delusions or dreams of the maker. Work that moves, confuses, pushes, drags, swallows the viewer.

For 'Der Rausch' I made new scaled up works as a reflection of my residency at Calcutta Art Research Foundation in India supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
