Since not only possession can broaden horizons but also the path. Sincerity goes hand in hand with authendcity and this in turn is visible in handwridng, signatures and in pardcular types of work that can only be produced if nothing is quoted, copied or imitated. Jana Gunstheimer’s blurring of ficdon and reality makes her work a metaphor of ardsdc pracdce, of the unique design of worlds whose potendality determines their strength. Caro Suerkemper uses seeming baroque ambiguity to make her style unique and disdncdve whereas Marcel Gähler and Chrisdan Weihrauch transform familiar, ogen unspectacular places, which seem mysdc and are frequently ignored into artwork with extreme dimensions – something only a visionary is capable of. Viennese ardst Eva Grün rules about self-­reveladon and masquerade, seriousness and humour, polidcs and Dadaism and gives her work impish dtles which drive one to reflect on their meaning: Nothing clearly we don’t know. QED. Or rather – the future of art belongs to them.Presse mappe I Seite 69
