Sturtevant

STURTEVANT
"The Exterior of the Interior"
Eröffnung: 13.11.2007, 19:00
Dauer: 14.11.2007 bis 06.02.2008
The third Sturtevant show at Galerie Mezzanin consists of two major works that reflect our cyber-world of excess, limitation, transgression and exhaustion.
INFINITE EXHAUSTION: A four-camera video discourses the perpetual depletion of man's force and vitality, the action of language as articulation of thought and the crucial noise of surface.
RE-RUN: A one-camera video on a rotating platform projects the running image onto the interior walls and to the exterior through the multiple windows: the inside without the outside. This is an attempt to use space itself as a representation of the interior and exterior modes within man. With cybernetics strangulation, the exterior is not folded to the interior; pushing everything to the surface. Man is surface, self-referential and left clinging desperately to his vast barren interior.
In the film itself, repetition and resemblance are no longer the ruling powers, but rather image over image; the thrust of simulacra to raw power.
Sturtevant lives and works in Paris. For the first time, the Museum fur Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main dedicated the entire museum to her work and produced 2 catalogues: Raisonne First Draft
and The Brutal Truth. The Whitney Biennial 2006 had a room installation of Duchamp 1200 Coal Bags. This was considered to be of major importance by the Whitney in relation to the entire Biennial.
