Art Offenbarung


Ceal Floyer, Overgrowth, 2004, Courtesy of Lisson Gallery, London & Esther Schipper, Berlin

Den Preis der Nationalgalerie für junge Kunst 07 hat Ceal Floyer gewonnen. Ich hatte immer Ceal Flower gelesen. Wohl eine Berufskrankheit. Die Arbeit "Overgrowth" zeigt einen Bonsai in der Größe eines normalen Baumes. "I want the manifestation of my ideas to be life-sized, not only regarding their scale, but also in terms of their relevance to their situation or medium. Then they're more like the ideas behind something. Art is just a manifestation, a Trojan Horse, for ideas."
