"European Kunsthalle" Exhibition
Ludlow 38 / The Goethe-Institut New York
This event has ended.
The second exhibition programmed by the European Kunsthalle introduces a group of works that are concerned with the idea of portraiture as a means of capturing a moment in time as well as with the affective relationality inherent in any process of representation: a relational set of esthetic, discursive and social interactions. In her silent film portraits Friedl Kubelka reinforces, with small gestures, the tension between herself as the filmmaker behind the camera and the subject being portrayed. Ricardo Basbaum also chronicles visible and invisible relations in diagrams depicting relations between “You” and “Me” as dynamic patterns of a “collective heterogenesis.” The photographic work of Gerard Byrne, on the other hand, portrays a specific moment in the ever-changing display of a typical magazine newsstand and thus the interrelationship of time, representation and us, the viewers.
