zusehends - Eric Lanz
In the organizer's words:
Lanz's works are multimedia, bringing together things, people and machines. The focus is on materiality, direct contact with the world, material processes and spaces, which are increasingly pushed into the background by the use of technology.
Banal things and substances unfold a poetic, sometimes surreal life in Eric Lanz's work; they are surprisingly physical, arousing astonishment and a desire to discover. Together with the artist, we want to intervene in the flow of images and things, we are playfully involved, experience metamorphoses and yet realize that they are also artifice: Via the seductive parallel world of the fleeting images, we are referred back to our everyday lives - which we may now grasp (differently).
The exhibition is accompanied by the publication Eric Lanz.Arbeiten und Materialien, sponsored by the Stiftung Kunstfonds and published by Vexer Verlag, an overview of Eric Lanzʾ work, with a foreword by Fritz Emslander, a dialog between the artist and Matthias Winzen and essays by Katja Pilisi and Laurent Adert.
