The World Trapped In The Self (Mirrors for Windows)
Stefan Brüggemann at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, 2011 May 25 – 29
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Stefan Brüggemann (born in Mexico City in 1975) lives and works in London and Mexico City. His work associates a conceptual practice with a raw attitude and criticism that simultaneously calls into question his own approach while it reflects on the present societal context. Even if the artist works principally with text, using the materials of vinyl and neon lights, he explores a wide array of mediums, ranging from video, to painting and drawing. The works of Stefan Brüggemann draw their meaning from a strange combination of philosophical concepts and popular imagery, often inspired by punk ideals and attitudes (nonconformism, provocation, and cynicism), which emerge from tautological expressions. They rely on a certain self-contained logic, but also point to the context in which they were conceived and the goal of eventually inserting a pop sensibility into certain conceptual practices.
Stefan Brüggemann recently exhibited at the Kunsthalle in Bern, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris, the Blow de La Barra in London, the Bass Museum in Miami, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cincinnati.
His intervention at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion was produced by Lab’Bel in collaboration with the Mies van der Rohe Foundation, with the kind help of Séverine Waelchli at the Yvon Lambert Gallery (Paris).
