Lothar Baumgarten "Fragmento Brazil, The Origin of Table Manners, Concordance, and Matteawan/Fishkill Creek"
Marian Goodman Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibiton of Lothar Baumgarten which will include a multi-projection piece "Fragmento Brazil" (1977-2005), a phonic work "Matteawan / Fishkill Creek" (2004-2008), and recent photographic works (2003-2008). An extensive survey of the setting and botany of the Serralves Park in Porto is present through seven c-prints which make up "Concordance" (2003-2006). Lothar Baumgarten's well-known body of work has included ephemeral sculptures, photographic work, slide projection pieces, 16 mm film works, recordings, drawings, prints, books, short stories, as well as site-specific works and wall drawings and architecture related interventions. In this three-part presentation the artist draws on the importance of space and memory, rhythm and interval, conjuring on the one hand, an evocative world of sound to call to mind a personal inner image of place, and on the other a silent reflection on image to create an ethnographic view of time and space.
