Waldemar Cordeiro & Franz Mon Exhibition
Ludlow 38 / The Goethe-Institut New York
This event has ended.
The exhibition at "MINI/Goethe-Institut Curatorial Residencies Ludlow 38" presents selected works from two pioneers of Concrete Art and Poetry, Waldemar Cordeiro (*1925-1973) from Brazil and Franz Mon (*1926) from Germany. The exhibited pieces reach from the mid-1960’s to the present and combine sculpture, collage, and computer printouts with typewriter text and sound work. With a mutual interest in the deconstruction of the photographic image, language and typography, the work of both artists oftentimes follows rigid concepts by which formal aspects can be completed independently of the author. Attributes of Concrete Art such as the structural focus on materials and processes, the appropriation of constructivist language, and the search for the general reduction of expressive means emanate from their practice.
