Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz have been working together in Berlin since 2007. They produce installations that choreograph the tension between visibility and opacity. Their films capture performances in front of the camera, often starting with a song, a picture, a film or a score from the near past. They upset normative historical narratives and conventions of spectatorship, as figures and actions across time are staged, layered and re-imagined. Their performers are choreographers, artists and musicians, with whom they are having a long-term conversation about the conditions of performance, the violent history of visibility, the pathologization of bodies, but also about companionship, glamour and resistance.
Recently, they have shown their work at the 35th São Paulo Art Biennal, Crystal Palace/Reina Sofia Museum Madrid, Seoul Mediacity Biennale, Whitechapel Gallery London, the Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Centre Pompidou Paris, Seoul Museum of Art, Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, New Museum New York, Julia Stoschek Collection Berlin or 58th Biennale di Venezia (Swiss Pavillon).
Klaas Kloosterboer's wide-ranging work consistently bridges the gap between abstraction and action. By questioning the elements of painting and its display, he confronts the viewer with the painting process. Rather than illustrating thoughts, his work is often an act in and of itself. As such, Kloosterboer’s work is always rooted in an action. He might determine a place on the canvas through cutting, sewing and throwing paint. Sometimes you see a suspended life-size, hand-sewn linen costume; a series of painted boxes; or even a video depicting the view through a car’s rear window as it pulls two giant balls down a road. Kloosterboer’s work is dynamic, idiosyncratic and lucid.
