HEIMO ZOBERNIG : MONOCHROMES

14 Oct-21 Nov 2009

Overview

This is the gallery’s first solo show of the highly regarded Austrian artist, and includes paintings, sculptures, and video installation in a survey of monochrome works. Since the 1980s, Zobernig’s practice has playfully married minimalist objects and monochrome colour schemes, with theatrical use of space and a subversive approach to gallery architecture. Heimo Zobernig was born in Austria in 1958, and currently lives and works in Vienna. He studied at the Akademie der bildenden Künste, Wien from 1977-1980, and at the Hochschule fur Angewandte Kunst, Wien from 1980-1983. He has exhibited extensively across the world, with an upcoming show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and recent solo shows at Tate St Ives in Cornwall, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, and CAPC, Musée d’art Contemporain, Bordeaux. He has had numerous shows in Europe, as well as Australia and the USA.
