Nobody Likes Us But We Don’t Care
21 March – 4 May 2014
Jordan Baseman (* 1960, Philadelphia, USA) works with film, photography and sculpture, consistently drawing attention to the material of the respective medium. Although this attention is rational and objective, he does often record occult, transcendental experiences. For this he uses deconstructive methods, derived from early conceptual art, to design contents that are theoretically incompatible with the conceptual art approach. In this way Baseman effectively questions the ability of art to transcend the parameters set by the material - yet without relinquishing the possibility of realising this aspiration.
