Overview

Almost no other artist has such a keen sense of how to deal with art collections as Florian Slotawa, who was born in 1972 in Rosenheim, studied in Munich and Hamburg, and has exhibited at venues including MoMA PS1 in New York (2009), the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck (2012), and the National Galerie at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (2014). For nearly twenty years, the Berlin-based artist has pursued performative strategies in his sculptural work. Florian Slotawa develops the presentation in Hamburg from different perspectives, including presenting sculptures on their own, bringing them into exciting dialogues with one another, sorting them according to a certain order, combining them with everyday objects, and--as in the case of the Picasso ensemble of the Bathers--recreating them. Slotawa's seemingly improvised yet precisely positioned, careful arrangement of the sculptures makes it possible to see art and its relationship to the everyday world in a new light.
