The first retrospective of German artist Wolfgang H. Scholz, covering his work from the 1980s to date. Text in English with a German and Spanish insert.
Wolfgang H Scholz (b. 1958) is a
visual artist and film director. His work spans more than three decades
and encompasses apart from painting many forms of expression, ranging
from theatrical and documentary films, sculpture, photography, and
installations to multimedia stage pieces.
His central theme is the
vision of an imaginary arrival, and his work method is a form of
decoding. Other essential concepts that recur in Scholz's work include
the labyrinth, time, memories or localization and the questioning of
reality.
The title The Void is taken from a Buddhist term
for the Fifth Element: The Void. Since 2010 Scholz has worked with
Japanese Butoh masters, creating several multimedia stage pieces and
series of photographic works on this theme.
This volume includes a
conversation with Prof. Dr. Boris Groys of New York University, one of
the most important scholars of the arts and humanities of the twentieth
century. This dialogue is an essential text for understanding the
creative processes, references, and influences of Wolfgang H Scholz
concerning the philosophical and programmatic themes of The Void.
This
book will be published to coincide with exhibitions by the MACO -
Museum of Contemporary Art Oaxaca (2019), Mexico, the Museum Ex Teresa
Arte Actual (2019), the gallery Casa Galván - UAM - Universidad Autónoma
metropolitana (2020) and in collaboration with the presentations of the
performance THE VOID at the Butoh Festival Kyoto, Japan (July 2019) and
at the Theatre CC Los Talleres, Mexico City in 2019.
Text in English with a Spanish and German insert.
