On the occasion of Gallery Weekend
Berlin 2012 Galerija Gregor Podnar is pleased to announce its second
solo exhibition of Alexander Gutke in Berlin.
Alexander Gutke will show new and recent works that continue his
on-going investigation into a whole host of issues, ranging from
narrative self-reflexivity, analog apparatuses, measurement, and perhaps
what can be best described as a metaphysical existentialism.
The exhibition features a 16 mm film installation, a video, a sculptural
installation, a wall sculpture, and a series of photographs. Auto-scope
(2012) is a 16 mm film that depicts a looped voyage inside a projector
and outside into an open, snowy landscape. The video 1-2-3-4 (2010)
portrays a sporadic cascade of drum sticks falling onto a snare drum
with no apparent rhyme or reason. The sculptural installation Folded
into One (2012) consists of a couple of hundred of stacked boxes covered
both on the inside and the outside with imagery of the universe, as if
space were somehow modular and looped. The theme of the loop continues
in the wall sculpture Measure (2011). This work is comprised of a brass
Moebius strip, laser engraved with millimeter markings in the spirit of a
flexible tape measure. 9 to 5, Stormgatan 4 (2012) is a series of
digital photographic ink jet prints, which see the artist photographing
the same spot on a wall throughout the course of a day, placing the
resulting photograph on the wall and systematically replacing each
subsequent image with a new one, such that the resultant photograph
becomes a diary of the artist in his studio.
