DAVID SCHUTTER
Studies for an Execution
28 April - 23 June 2012
The center of Aurel Scheibler’s show is David Schutter’s (*1974, lives
in Chicago) current project, which addresses a painted study by Édouard
Manet Study for the Execution of Emperor Maxmillian (1867, Ny Carlsberg
Glyptotek, Copenhagen ). Having studied the work through drawing , field
notes and archival research, Schutter "remade ” several version s of
Manet’s oil study in a 1-to-1 scale with like materials and without aid
memoires. Accompanying his paintings the exhibition shows a group of
associative drawings.
Schutter’s practice is more a phenomenological study that discusses the
problems encountered when making a painting, than a test of memories.
The works in the exhibition are as much performative re-enactments of
the historical artwork as they are discreet paintings and drawings.
As such they for m a painter ’s r eper tor y of extended r ehear sals.
