Artwork Description |The walk-through installation is acombination of floor painting, wall painting, and<br />

actual paintings oncanvas, which the viewer can physically access. Additionally,<br />

the furniture and ceramics –both found objects aswell as art objects created by<br />

Andreas Schulze –extend the themes of his pictures into the exhibition space.<br />

The idea of creating acomplete interior of artworks and found objects has<br />

always been an aspect of the work ofAndreas Schulze. Such ‘interiors’ (that is,<br />

interior views into our society) have been previously exhibited in different ways<br />

and different venues since the 1980s.<br />

Most often, his works depict everyday bourgeois idylls, which heconstructs as<br />

subtle, parallel worlds to reality. These deserted, melancholic landscapes and<br />

interiors convey both coziness and menace. They manifest the social yearning<br />

for security and comfort aswell as an estrangement of the ‘private’ in which<br />

the bourgeois need for harmony turns out to be narrowly restrictive.<br />
