Eccentric Abstraction
Galerie Feldbuschwiesner, Berlin
The exhibition unites three unique contemporary positions of abstraction between painting and sculpture, characterized by unusual materials and tendencies to occupy space. Minimal and constructivist forms become sculpture and object.
With the artists Ruth Campau, Dieter Detzner and Jacob Dahlgren,
ECCENTRIC ABSTRACTION unites three unique contemporary posi-
tions of abstraction between painting and sculpture, characterized by unu-
sual materials and tendencies to occupy space. Minimal and constructivist
forms meet spontaneous, organic and sensual gestures, grow into space,
become sculpture, installation and object.
While, on the one hand, architectural thought organizes the pictorial spa-
ce, the gestures of modernist painting, interior- and product- and industrial
design factor into the works as well.
Soot, packaging materials, acrylic glass, copper plates, mirrors and alumini-
um can be found beside traditional materials such as acrylic paint. None
of the artists uses a canvas. The title of the show is a homage to Lucy
Lippard‘s iconic show in 1966 in New York, uniting the most signifcant
artistic positions of Post-Minimalism: eccentric abstractions, which allowed
the matter of the works to speak.
Ruth Campau, Jacob Dahlgren and Dieter Detzner enrich their focused
thoughts on rhythm, difference and repetition by play, experimentation
and process. Thus, they create a new space for abstraction.
