MICHAEL WESELY
Time Works, June - July 2010
09.06.2010 until 17.07.2010
OPENING OF THE NEW GALLERY SPACE IN STEINHEILSTR. 18 in MUNICH
“In recent years, it has been possible to discern an attitude in the way Michael Wesely sees himself that would suggest a specific attempt on his part to implement his artistic ideas in a more concentrated and intensive manner. We are not talking about a change in strategy here, rather a considered artistic reorientation in connection with a critically self-assured revision of his overall production, which has led him to re-examine his archived works once more. This current selection of images represents Wesely’s commitment to this revision; it contains largely new examples as well as some older images, occasionally reverting to spacious photographs, taking details from them, and presenting them in enlarged formats as images in their own right. There is a fresh impetus to all this.“
(Jürgen Harten, excerpt from the catalogue "Time Works", Schirmer/ Mosel, Munich 2010)
