The Self-made Man
Studio Michael Riedel
The exhibition is intended as a belated conclusion and review of my apprenticeship with Prof. Michael Riedel and, to a certain extent, a comparison of our working methods and approaches. I am particularly interested in the question of how one deals with one's own person(a) in one's work, to what extent one attempts to thematize, fictionalize or negate it.
The mirror motif in general and specifically two record covers by The Who and Roger Daltrey, who both use this motif in different ways, provide a visual point of reference. My own, as always small-format works will be placed in Michael Riedel's largely unchanged studio, for example on the transport crates of his large-format paintings, etc. The writer Olga Hohmann will guide through the show on the opening weekend and write the text.
