  • Franz West Artist Biography
    FRANZ WEST | ARTIST BIOGRAPHY FRANZ WEST ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Franz West was born in Austria in 1947 and died in his native country in 2012. He studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna and became a sculptor and installation artist, part of the Actionist and Performance Art Mouvement in the sixties and seventies. BEAKING THE RULES The sculptures known as ‘Adaptives’, began in the seventies and are considered his first significant works as humorously indeterminate objects. They are both artful sculptures and tactile gadgets, with their artistic function considered completed only once viewers have interacted with it. It is to say they needed to be touched, hold, worn or played with. With this unique approach he is one of the first artists to break the established codes between the artworks and the spectator. West, whose Art was influenced by his interest in psychoanalytic texts, describes his ‘Adaptives’ as prostheses, a term that alludes to their incomplete status as well as their connection to the body. Since then, he deeply explored sculpture in all its aspects, but mostly the communication created, all the actions and the reactions they can provoke to its audience members. FROM INTERACTION TO FURNITURE West garnered attention from the larger public in the mid-eighties, when he began producing furniture. He often crafted chairs and couches by welding together pieces of scrap metal, a technique that reflects his interest in collage. Additionally, West creates colorful, upholstered furniture. West’s works have been exhibited throughout the world for more than 30 years and at a variety of venues, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitechapel Gallery in London, the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, the Gagosian Gallery in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museo Tamayo in Mexico.

Dahlem, born 1974 in Munich, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf and currently lives in Berlin. "Dahlems spatial installations refer to scientific phenomena and theories, spanning from relativity theory, quantum theory, psychology, philosophy, science fiction to alchemy. Even if his concepts involve quarks and electromagnetic fields, star constellations and rocket constructions, they are playful mechanical settings of an uncertain and unstable parallel world and have not evolved out of high-tech spirit or an unbroken belief in scientific progress. The trash materials Dahlem uses and the virtuosity of his "space/world" settings are beyond anything the viewer might be lead to expect from concepts such as "Black Hole" or "elementary particles". Where Dahlem tries to reach the stars, he constructs - instead of sterile laboratory devices gleaming with chrome - provisory situations and experimental scientific settings which already seem to comprise the failure of the experiment. According to Dahlem, this scepticism is characteristic of his generation. The end of the great utopian theories that have shaped the 20th century has left its mark on young artists. The belief in an "objective" view of the world is shattered. By applying scientific theories to art, Dahlem does not see himself as an "artist who goes into science", but rather perceives his models as parameters for existential questions such as "What am I made of, where do I come from?" etc.

  • Georg Herold and Markus Oehlen
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1993 PROJECTS: GEORG HEROLD AND MARKUS OEHLEN February 6 - March 23, 1993 The Museum of Modern Art opens its next PROJECTS exhibition with the first museum showing in New York of recent work by German artists Georg Herold and Markus Oehlen on February 6, 1993. Organized by Robert Storr, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, PROJECTS: GEORG HEROLD AND MARKUS OEHLEN features strange and inventive objects and images in a variety of mediums. The exhibition remains on view through March 23. Herold and Oehlen are both members of what might be called the third postwar generation of artists in Germany (Joseph Beuys, for example, represents the first, Jbrg Immendorf, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter the second). Although their backgrounds differ -- Herold grew up in the East and Oehlen in the West of a divided Germany -- they have in common an appreciation of the absurd that lends their work its disconcerting physicality and its wit. Concentrating on the recent sculpture of both artists and including paintings and wall constructions, the exhibition highlights both the similarities in their basic sensibilities and the vivid differences in their work. The three sculptures that are the centerpiece of this exhibition include Oehlen's two untitled pieces from 1990 and Herold's single work from 1992, titled Pfannkuchentheorie (Cluster Theory). The surrounding paintings and reliefs represent other dimensions of the artists' activities. In his brochure essay, Mr. Storr writes that "...Oehlen and Herold are most at ease 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.
