Deutsch Amerikansche Freundschaft (German American Friendship)
Marc Brandenburg's first solo museum exhibition in the United States features about 30 drawings from private European collections. Brandenburg's black-and-white drawings explore the tension between light and dark. The artist reverses positive and negative values to illuminate subtle details, resulting in a sense of drama and anticipation.The exhibition's subtitle-Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft, which translates to 'German-American Friendship' in English-s both a comment on the relationship between politics and popular culture and a reference to the German punk band of the same name. Marc Brandenburg: Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft is located in the works-on-paper gallery on level three of the Hamilton Building. Images: Marc Brandenburg, Untitled, 2007.
