Painted Shut

For ‘Painted Shut’, painting will be folded in on itself under the glass of the vitrine. The painted marks and their reproductions will be mounted in the same space, but at different depths. To bring in multiple exposures, photographs of other walls from other places archived by the artist will be introduced – images of his studios in Germany and Canada and the subway tiles under Berlin – and the work will become a large rectangular composition and voluminous sculpture occupying the entire gallery space.
