VIA LEWANDOWSKY
Hokuspokus
14 February - 29 May 2016
Arranged in scenic constellation, the exhibition presents works that investigate misunderstandings and absurdities surrounding beliefs, superstitions, fetishes, aura, knowledge and reason. Applying an extraordinarily cryptic yet humorous touch, Via Lewandowsky asks what shapes our perception, provokes meaning and mischief, removes objects from their actual function to acquire a different purpose. Irony and wit act as somewhat untrustworthy signposts across uncertain and jumbled terrain. The artist exploits strategies of appropriation and alienation previously used by Dada and the Surrealists as well as within Situalitionalism.
