MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit) manifests for the first time in the U.S the solo exhibition of Swedish artist Alexander Gutke. The exhibition is comprised of six projections which probe the artists fascination with film, using projection for both subject and medium.
The exhibition offers an opportunity to evaluate Gutke's contribution to neo-conceptualism. The persistence of his preoccupations, as well as the complexity and metaphorical potency of his work set him apart from the more directly citational practices of some of his peers. If Gutke adopts and expands upon strategies initially forged by historical predecessors, he does so to explore issues that are both personal and universal with a depth and richness matched only by his work's stark simplicity and hypnotic beauty (MOCAD).
Alexander Gutke is on exhibition now through December 27, at MOCAD.
This exhibition is being curated by Chris Sharp.
