Tobias Rehberger: Truths That Would Be Maddening Without Love
Gallery Baton is pleased to announce 鈥楾ruths that would be maddening without love鈥, a solo exhibition by Tobias Rehberger (b. 1966) from 18th March to 13th May. Tobias Rehberger is a German artist who has achieved international repute in winning the Golden Lion Award at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) and having solo exhibitions at numerous prestigious institutions including Foundation Beyeler (Basel), Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai), Whitechaple Gallery (London), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Museum of Contemporary Art (Busan) and Art Sonje Center (Seoul). Rehberger, began his career as a sculptor, has achieved his unique cross-disciplinary aesthetic whose broad range embraces images, objects, installations and collaborations. Though viewers are easily attracted by exceptionally sensual and intense colours and patterns of his works at a glimpse, his practice addresses multi-layered theoretical questions about 鈥榓rt鈥 itself instead of remaining as a mere visual amusement. Crossing dichotomous boundaries or hierarchies which revolve around dynamics of diverse genres and roles such as sculpture/ installation/architecture, fine art/design, art/daily life and aesthetic/function, he also explores 鈥榠nbetween鈥 realms among those different fields consistently. In this context, his practice can hardly be included in a certain sphere; therefore, it is rather a conceptual hybrid, being serious and delightful, at the same time, abstract and poetic.
