[email protected] | www.bendana-pinel.com PRESS RELEASE Niklas Goldbach EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE Exhibition from March 21st to May 7th 2015 Bendana | Pinel Art Contemporain is delighted to present Niklas Goldbach’s second solo exhibition “EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE” at the gallery. Standardization and inimitability, containment and individual freedom, ostentation and understatement are only some of the antagonistic issues that create the kind of socio-psychological conflicts around which Niklas Goldbachs work revolves. The interaction between psychological settings and the urban as well as the natural environment shaping our contemporary living conditions and mind sets are often in the center of Niklas Goldbachs work. For the first time, the exhibition brings together two of Goldbach’s most recent work series: the video-installation cycle “The Nature of Things” (2010-2014) and a selection of his extensive photographic series “Everything In Its Right Place» (2013). With this selection, the artist’s research on the ambiguous tension between the individual’s desire for uniqueness and modern society’s tendency to enforce conformity are juxtaposed. In the video installations “The Nature of Things”, the protagonists are either tied to a tree, a metal pole or a wooden post.
