Astrid Nippoldt / Hansjorg Dobliar

Villa Merkel, Esslingen

It's always night, or we wouldn't need light. This exhibition brings together two artists who investigate the image in very different ways. Videos by Astrid Nippoldt meet Hansjorg Dobliar's expansive, colourful constructions, as well as painted and painted-over pictures. Both examine familiar aspects of everyday life and cultural history and investigate possible reinterpretations and entirely new interpretations.


comunicato stampa

This exhibition in the Villa Merkel brings together two artists - Astrid Nippoldt (1973, lives in Berlin) and Hansjorg Dobliar (1970, lives in Berlin) - who investigate the image in very different ways. Videos by Astrid Nippoldt meet Hansjorg Dobliar's expansive, colourful constructions, as well as painted and painted-over pictures.

Astrid Nippoldt is considered one of Germany's most important video artists. Her works mark the intersections between real events and fiction. They depict unbalanced atmospheres and tragicomic circumstances, demonstrating an interest in the absurdity of existence. Hansjorg Dobliar creates cosmic spaces from crystalline structures. Light phenomena with embedded real natural forms constitute his atmospheric landscapes.

Both examine familiar aspects of everyday life and cultural history and investigate possible reinterpretations and entirely new interpretations. In the romantic tradition, they examine the limits of the image's rational availability.
