CAROLA WAGENPLAST (Jochen Schmith), MARCEL MIETH (FMSW), DJ PHONO (Deichkind)
Vernissage: October 25th, 19h
After our renovation works had been finished, WCW Gallery starts into a new
exhibition season with a show by Carola Wagenplast (J. Schmith).
In her installation, in which she includes works by Marcel Mieth (FMSW) and
DJ Phono (Deichkind), she asks about the staging of power, which expresses
itself throughout symbols of opulence and decadence in architecture,
material and habitus. This pompous stetting, available for use only to few,
is at the same time a senseless inherence to old orders. This is contrasted
by Wagenplast's art pieces which broach the issue to be lost as an
individual inside the structures of standing and social class.
Marcel Mieth used an old stamping machine, which was used in factories in
former times, in order to document his own daily routine. Over a period of
several months he used the machine before he went to bed and after he got up
in the morning. His work is a wonderfully light piece of art contented with
narrative power, which reminds with its formal trace of Hanne Darboven only
at the first glance.
The interactions of the artworks make up a mirror of our society and the
position of each individual person inside it.

Exhibition: October, 26th - November, 30th 2008
