Jeff Wall
Jeff Wall’s oeuvre employs backlit photographic transparencies mounted on light boxes. Set in cases generally associated with advertising display, Wall’s staged scenes comment on aspects of everyday modern life, with a focus on social disintegration and alienation. Wall uses actors on location as well as computer manipulation to construct these elaborate scenarios.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
