Clemens von Wedemeyer features in the Kunstmuseum's collection with three video installations and two sculptural works. The solo show combines a selection of these with recent works.
'My stories often arise in the context of a found situation and a place', Clemens von Wedemeyer (b. 1974 in Göttingen, Germany, lives and works in Berlin and Leipzig) observed. The artist, whose film and spatial installations operate in the realm between real situations and speculative retellings, explores structural principles in social and historical contexts – and in the film medium itself. His works often incorporate the circumstances in which they are created.
One focus of the exhibition is the relationship between film and sculpture and its implicit historiography. The show illustrates how sculptures can seemingly be brought to life and how the immaterial can assume form. This solo show is devised in close collaboration with the artist.
A production of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, curated by Christiane Meyer-Stoll.
The exhibition is accompanied by a booklet from the series from the collection with an essay by Volker Pantenburg and an interview with the artist by Marie-France Rafael.
