-

Tanya Leighton Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Germany by Czech-born artist Pavel Büchler. L’imitation is part of ‘Forum Expanded’ — a programme within the International Forum of New Cinema at the 59th International Film Festival of Berlin.

Summing up his own practice as ‘making nothing happen’, Pavel Büchler is committed to the catalytic nature of art - its potential to draw attention to the obvious and reveal it as strange. Formally presented in a variety of media with a bias towards obsolete technology, his works often reference modern art, literature, critical thought - and on this occasion specifically the cinema.
