The gallery will become a space of two intersecting installations. Both deal in their own specific way with the relation between gainful occupation and its refusal.Eiko Grimberg draws the line between the activisticly used shibboleth “I didn’t go to work today. I don’t think I’ll go tomorrow” to the subjectively motivated ‘staying in bed’ up to the question of the ordinariness of such decision-making. In his installation “ER, SIE, ES” (he, she, it) he therefore consequently uses the ideological ‘substitute’ of recent labor -and cultural history which reveal their constant activity within his composition.

In his room installation “User Condition” Arthur Zalewski directly takes up the thread of loose attachment between several replacement elements: he consciously traces the playful and ostensibly absent-minded exposure to the ubiquitous vocabulary of form and surface. His working method conflates references to design and architecture with the principles of randomness and imperfection.
Hence, the exhibition generates a spatial setting in which social orders of behavior and rashly agreed constellations are questioned subtly but with vehemence.
P.S.: I also want to draw your attention to AMERIKA’s participation at a the first edition of YEAR06 – an art fair for young contemporary art held in London from 10/12 – 10/15. There will be new works by Peggy Buth, Alexej Meschtschanow and Adrian Sauer. You will find us at the ground floor of the MaryWardHouse/ 5-6 Tavistock Place/ London WC1H9SN.
