| Jochen Lempert in the
Ann and Jürgen Wilde Collection 13. April 2008 – 01. February 2009 Following shows devoted to Heidi Specker, Vibeke Tandberg and Christopher
Muller, works by the Hamburg-based artist Jochen Lempert (born in 1958)
from the Ann and Jürgen Wilde Collection comprise an exhibition attempting
to define this artist's place within the collection. Jochen Lempert studied
biology and experimented with diverse media, such as film before starting
to work as a photographer. Imperative to his work is an examination of
the perception and domestication of that which is animalistic. The artist
acts as an archivist and a specialist in phenomenology. In the process,
his visual realm manifests itself in an unpretentious materiality and
its presentation using photographic paper attains a strong, poetic forcefulness.
Forms correspond to open up a wide field of developmental history as
well as a relationship to cultural history. For the purpose of the exhibition,
Jochen Lempert created links to works by Friedrich Seidenstücker, Duane
Michals, Albert Renger-Patzsch and others by providing them with a place
in his very own visual realm. |
