*court toujours*
26th May - 15th July 2006

Opening: Friday, 26th May 2006, 6 - 8pm


The Peter Kilchmann Gallery is pleased to announce the 5th solo exhibition with new works by Rita Ackerman (*1968 in Budapest, lives and works in New York). In the context of the exhibition*court toujours*, the artist shows new drawings and new paintings. The following text was written by the artist:


a lost ball
a lost game
a lost set
a lost match
from all points there is the chance of the turning point
with resistant consistency of keeping the ball in the air
with surety of wanting to win
and what comes after winning a match?
another match with the other winner.

the looser has to collect her strength;
she has lost not against her partner
but against her will to win.
if she doesn’t know surely that she wants to win
even if she thinks she knows
she will be paralyzed.
she will be not there where her body is fighting to participate in the game
if time stand still in her head that means she has lost control over the seconds
she lost control over a ball
she has lost control over the game
she has lost control over the set
she has lost control over the match.
