This is the first time that so many of Ataman’s works are exhibited together. Atman was born in Turkey and now lives in London. He concentrates on the question of identity, the construction of the subject. The “long streams”, from which this exhibition takes place, have manifested themselves from Ataman’s very first work in the genre of visual art, i.e., in his almost eight-hour-long film, in which the more than 90-year-old Turkish opera singer, Semiha Berksoy, recalls and re-enacts scenes from her life, which spans the whole of Turkey’s modern history.

Baechler’s Crowd Paintings are a series of primarily black and white, large-format canvases covered with the diverse faces that make up big city crowds. These faces contrast one another in tone, as some are treated as cartoons while others are rendered more seriously. To complement these paintings, poet David Greenberg has written a series of poems entitled, “A Face in the Crowd”, a collection of poems focusing on varied lifestyles in New York City. Both artist and poet live in New York City where they have collaborated for many years.

The works of Baselitz is deeply rooted in a German tradition, his expressionistic style is reminiscent of Munch, Jorn and others. For this reason, this first exhibition of his works in Scandinavia assumed great importance. Baselitz belongs to a group of artists who in the 1960s and 70s tried to rediscover the identity of German art, which had been severely jeopardized by the war. Therefore, his abstract expressionist paintings are imbued with themes of destruction and suffering, as he grapples with his own experiences during the war.

The exhibition catalogue presents the work of a New York artist, who expresses himself in a formal language and with an iconography that is intensely of today - his painting is far more complex than it looks on the surface. His hard-edge, figurative canvases painted with fluorescent colors are packed with corporate and rock-and-roll band logos. His show lines up in many respects with the artificial pictorial world of a Thomas Deman and virtuosity of a Doug Aitken.
