1 June 2008 – 12 October 2008 Above-the-FoldErkmen, Floyer, LamelasCurator: Nikola Dietrich The three artists, Ayse Erkmen (b. 1949 in Istanbul), Ceal Floyer (b. 1968 in Karachi) and David Lamelas (b. 1946 in Buenos Aires), are united by an artistic approach that cultivates a reduced grammar of form. This combined exhibition of their work was prompted by the way in which they each address issues of time and space in connection with the limits and potential of generating alternative processes of communication and knowledge. In her installations Erkmen offers viewers different readings of social systems and their historical implications while Floyer’s work is characterized by the very absence of its subject matter. Specific associations are evoked by the tension between object and designation in her light projections, videos, photographs and sculptures. Lamelas belongs to the pioneers of conceptual art practice. His architectural interventions created along with his films temporarily redefine the parameter of time and space.
