"Body Mission - a slow display"
2006. november 24. - 2007 januar 12.
wednesday - friday 12-18, saturday 12-15
The piece is part of his series "Das Körperkörper-Problem" (The Bodybody-Problem) and consists of a countless number of anonymous figures, indifferent in terms of sex and age, built-up in pastose paint upon the wall, which otherwise remains completely white.
The works of Clemens Krauss , born 1978 in Graz, Austria, were shown in 2005 at Artforum Berlin, Art Cologne and Art Basel Miami Beach, amongst others.
Due to Clemens Krauss' medical-biological background, he holds degrees in both Medicine and Fine Art, his investigations are often affected by natural science.
His central concern is the human body. He operates between performance, painting, photography and site specific installation, each approach sharing the same conceptual framework. Krauss is interested in the body as a scene of identity, individuality and society and the question of the relation between the outer appearance and inner life of the body
