Art Düsseldorf14.11.2017–19.11.2017Thomas Geiger, Anna Vogel
At Art Düsseldorf, Sperling is presenting a combination of works on paper by Düsseldorf artist Anna Vogel and floor sculptures made of cobblestones by Viennese artist Thomas Geiger. This combination is not only formally coherent, but above all in terms of content. Both artists are concerned with making distant places tangible and visible. In the case of Anna Vogel, this distance is of a temporal nature, while Thomas Geiger overcomes a spatial distance. Anna Vogel deals with the idea of nature at a time when there were no people to describe or document it. Thomas Geiger's participatory sculptures have their origins in Johannesburg, where Thomas Geiger's Kunsthalle 3000 project last made a stop.
