ANGELA BULLOCH - THE SPACE THAT TIME FORGOT
16. February - 18. May 2008

Angela Bulloch (born 1966, lives in Berlin) has produced installations and works with sound and many other media that have made her one of the internationally best known artists of her generation. The exhibition in the Kunstbau is her first solo show in Munich.

As the exhibition title suggests, Bulloch combines models of the perception of space and of time. She has designed projections and light installations showing terrestrial and extra-terrestrial perspectives on the night sky and on the earth. Her “Night Skies” show selected elements of the heavens seen from a point of view far away from the earth.

These works reflect on the impossibility of ever surveying the order of the universe from just one vantage point, thus also drawing on the important subject of a critique of representation. A fundamental element of this critique is experimentation with and the synaesthetic transformation of digital sounds and images. A prototype for this kind of approach is seen in the installation “Z Point” (2001/2004), a light and sound installation consisting of 48 Pixel Boxes alluding to the 1970 Michelangelo Antonioni film “Zabriskie Point”.
