Forest Cleaning. From his "youthful" work right up to the present
A body of work that illustrates the many facets of his oevre, starting with his student days at the Munich Academy in 2000, right up to the present. This solo exhibition is entitled Forest Cleaning, and accordingly takes its cue from this "youthful" work, which the artist today considers to be his first artistic piece. Waldputz ("Forest cleaning" in German), a discrete outdoor installation, focuses on a number of his primary artistic considerations. The title evokes, somewhat pragmatically, one of the recurring themes in the German artist's work: the collusion between nature and culture. First and foremost, the piece demonstrates how do we rethink the relationship today between sculpture and space.
