STEFAN BRÜGGEMANN – UNTITLED ACTION (GOLD PAINTINGS)
2020-08-03Spanning, and sometimes combining sculpture, video and painting, Stefan Brüggemann’s work deploys text in conceptual installations rich with acerbic social critique and a post pop aesthetic. Evolving from his existing Text Pieces, these laconic texts employ language we regularly encounter in our accelerated digital lives. Presented as shortened modern poems, Brüggemann’s new series offers a caustic perspective on modernity and the digital age, the staccato rhythms of these sloganistic lines mirroring the relentlessness of newsfeed culture. The gold works intend to cut through the noise of the present moment, and their reflective surfaces, with varied textures and mesmeric rhythms, invite contemplation.
