GERWALD ROCKENSCHAUB
Pretty Pretty Please
26 September – 22 November 2012
Dear friends of the gallery,
We would like to draw your attention to our impending exhibition „Pretty Pretty Please“ by Gerwald Rockenschaub.
The intensely colored images, installations, objects and animations of renowned Austrian artist Gerwald Rockenschaub (born 1952) are characterized by a sensible concentration on forms and colors.
Rockenschaub, who studied in Vienna at the University for Applied Sciences and first started off as a musician and DJ, began in the 80s to create pictograms and oil paintings related to the movement of the so called Neo-Geo.
These works were followed by installations and sculptures involving the exhibition space. In 1993 Rockenschaub, who now lives and works in Berlin, represented Austria at the biennial in Venice. In 2007 he received the Fred-Thieler-Prices and exhibited at the Documenta 12.
The work of Rockenschaub has been shown worldwide in solo and group exhibitions, including the Kunstmuseum Luzern, the Kunsthalle Bern, the Kunstmuseum Ludwig Vienna, the Kunsthalle Nürnberg and the Kunstmusem Wolfsburg.
His new works shown in the exhibition will revolve around „harmonious disharmonies“, proportion, architecture, balance, playfulness.
