Thomas Schütte
Since the 1970s, Thomas Schütte has produced a diverse body of work, including architectural installations, drawings, small-scale models, and sculptures in ceramic and bronze. Schütte’s skeptical attitude towards a traditional understanding of art and its function in the public sphere manifests itself in his work, which focuses on human conditions and explores fundamental questions about the artist and society.
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.
