poster for Kriwet Exhibition

This event has ended.

KRIWET’s exhibition at Ludlow 38 will be showing a selection of his work in diverse media, which was also influenced by aesthetic and conceptual currents in New Music, the Beat generation and Pop art. One focus of the exhibition are three works conceived in the USA, i. e. "Campaign Tableau" (1972/2007), a photographic work of 21 pieces so far shown only once in public, the audio text "Campaign" (1973), and the image-sound collage "Apollovision"– works which in their investigation of the construction of media space, are still politically resonant. KRIWET’s associations with Pop art are particularly evident in the "Text Signs" (1968), which seem to grasp the directness of advertising. The letterings with their manifold references to politics, sexuality, history etc. are not aiming at an easy intelligibility. Their overlapping and truncated characters rather punctuate linear processes of understanding and open a field of signification, which cannot be read only in one direction. A selection of books and discs gives insight into KRIWET’s publishing activities.
