Canvases and stretcher frames are cut, torn, and broken for this purpose and emerge as objects that challenge their categorization as painting. De la Cruz thus—literally and quite bru- tally—detaches the idea of the picture from its physical carrier as well as from tradition: “The moment I cut through the canvas I get rid of the grandiosity of painting.” The artist introduces a new body of work in ‘Layers’, her first solo show with Galerie Thomas Schulte, which runs through 11 January, 2020.

His deeply rooted interest in materials and extraordinary handling of them makes him one of the contemporary art world’s most important and inventive sculptors. Fol- lowing his beginnings in performance art, Deacon (born 1949 in Bangor, Wales) turned to sculpture in the early 1980s and soon became regarded as a central figure in New British Sculpture. Over the years, he has consis- tently and methodically developed his diverse oeuvre, which also includes writing and drawing. Deacon employs a wide range of materials, including laminated plywood, concrete, stainless steel, leather, plastics, and clay, in order to create an intense experience of form, surface, color and space.

Arguing that “walking is an art form in its own right,” Fulton translates his walks into photographs, drawings, and wall texts. Although only Fulton himself experiences the walk itself, his works invite the beholder to engage with the lived experience. Fulton’s work has been shown extensively around the world. He participated in documenta twice, in 1977 and again in 1982. His work can be found in major public collections worldwide including the Tate, MoMA, and the Centre Pompidou.

In 2017, he graduated with an MFA from the Städelschule, Frankfurt. In 2018, he was one of the participants of the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. The Wilhelm Hack Museum has invited him for a solo exhibition in 2019. His first institutional solo exhibition was hosted by the Kunsthalle Darmstadt in 2017. His work has also been included in exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Kunsthalle Wien, Nassauischer Kunstverein and Kunstverein Leipzig. Julian Irlinger lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Julian Irlinger’s project “Subjects of Emergency” is dedicated to the reconstruction of a historical relation between aesthetics and ideology in artistic production. The artist uses as his source material is banknotes of the emergency currency which circulated during inflation in Germany (1918-1923) as a parallel currency to the Mark of the Reichsbank. Printed on the bills were pictures produced by artists, which often reflect the political context. The details of the money reproduced by Irlinger have a seductive quality and show a subtle sense of humor as well as the dark side of the pop culture of the Weimar Republic.

Throughout her work, Loboda engages with the historical narratives attributed to certain objects and juxtaposes them with modern references and contemporary re-interpretations in order to address the transformation of meaning of objects and images. Loboda thus, through the deconstruction and reorganization of common forms and symbols, has become a unique voice in what is described as contemporary archaeology. Loboda’s wide-ranging exhibition activities encompass the 58th Ven- ice Biennale (2019), Taipei Biennial (2014), and documenta 13 (2012). Important solo exhibitions include Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt a.M. (2018/19), Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw (2019), Kunsthalle Basel (2017), Institut d’art contemporain, Villeur- banne (2017), The Power Plant, Toronto (2016), and Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012). Furthermore, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Contemporary Art Center, Singapore (2018), MADRE, Naples (2018), Modern Art Oxford (2016), Sprengel Museum Hannover (2015), Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn (2015), Ludlow 38, New York (2012), MMK – Museum für Moderne Kunst (2010). Loboda lives and works in Berlin. Currently, Loboda is working on a new installation with the title “Woman observing the Alpha Persei Cluster” for the gallery’s Corner Space. The opening will be on 15 November 2019.

He continuously broadens the methods of his artistic expression, combining works on paper with painting, text-based work, sculpture, found objects, music, and performance. In 2018, he was nominated for the prestigious Prize of the Böttcherstraße at Kunsthalle Bremen. Important solo exhibitions include Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2016/17) and KW Institute for Contemporary Art , Berlin (2015/16). Most recently, Müller has been invited by Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg to—over the course of two years—reassess its collection, make a personal selection from the holdings of the museum and to stage the selected works for the audience in new and innovative ways. Michael Müller lives and works in Berlin. “Vor und hinter dem Glas” is a series of works, in which the artist seeks the confrontation with the medium of painting and explores the possibilities of creating a relationship between the paintings and the space that surrounds them. By painting onto the glass—usually separating the painting and reflecting the environment in front of it—the reflective qualities of the glass are reduced to a minimum while its transparency opens up the possibility of integrating the space behind the painting as part of the work.

Both his precise,abstract paintings and sculptural objects take as their source the delicate explo- rations of shifting planes and geometric forms found in his drawings. Though the artist’s paintings demonstrate a restrained elegance, their source drawings, swiftly sketched at the end of each day in the studio, are products of a spontaneous, intuitive process. While many of these drawings simply remain exercises, never emerging from their sketchbook, others are singled out by the artist for further exploration. At the beginning of the year, a documentary on the artist by Swiss film maker Rita Ziegler has been released. The film “Beyond the Vanished” is a very intimate portrait that follows the artist very closely during his occasionally agonizing struggle to create the perfect image.
