(d)eux. The sculptor invites us to access a range of works, in which he considers the relationship of the individual to other


sintesi del comunicato stampa

The year 2013 starts off with the first solo exhibition by Swiss metal sculptor Marcus Egli at Galerie d'(A). The exhibition title '(d)eux' refers to the artist's reflection on questions of identity - whether alone, as a couple or in a group; on the standardisation of the individual; and on our relationship, as individuals, with others. Through the instrument of humour, the artist invites us to access a range of works, in which he considers the relationship of the individual to others. Egli exposes how little it takes to mark someone and that our differences are forged by our childhood memories or by the pivotal moments in our adult life. To underline these dissimilarities, Egli creates what he calls 'Hominiums' - a portmanteau made of 'homme' and 'aluminium', the latter being his material of choice. These 'Hominiums' resemble each other, they're asexual, and yet, being hammered out and brushed by hand, they are never identical. Devoid of detail or expression, their faces reflect the viewer or their surroundings. This role play throws us back to our own identity and the way we are perceived by others. Opening Reception Thursday 31 January 18-21.
