Gabriele Stellbaum

Florence Lynch Gallery, New York

The Gallery & I. Videos & Digital Prints. The show includes a sculptural viewing lounge, housing four of Stellbaum's newest videos, and the ongoing public poster project 'The Gallery & I'. The colorful lounge, designed in cooperation with the Berlin architect Helia Hecker embodies the 'logic and permutation theme' from Stellbaum's videos. The lounge is painted with large graphic patterns, camouflaging its original basic appearance into a vivid organic setting.

March 10 to April 3, 2004

Florence Lynch Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works by Gabriele Stellbaum. The exhibition is on view from March 10 through April 3, 2004. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Wednesday, March 10, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
The show includes a sculptural viewing lounge, housing four of Stellbaum's newest videos, and the ongoing public poster project " The Gallery & I". The colorful lounge, designed in cooperation with the Berlin architect Helia Hecker embodies the 'logic and permutation theme' from Stellbaum's videos. The lounge is painted with large graphic patterns, camouflaging its original basic appearance into a vivid organic setting.
The principle transforms an excerpt of Samuel Beckett's Molloy into an absurd 13 min slapstick performance. The video amuses and tortures with its pedantic language, while it philosophizes a meaningless topic. In Münchhausen, trying to step on a pedestal, Stellbaum takes an irrational approach, which leads to a harmful downfall. I should have begun differently shows Stellbaum performing an impossible headstand. The piece focuses on the inevitable failure of the attempt due to a wrong beginning. Completing this strange circle of futility is the video 20 x 3 x 2 x 1, a guide on how to eat six different cookies in 120 variations.
Posters for the "Gallery & I" have been displayed in various public locations in Chelsea. Designed as a partner project between gallery and artist, the project employs art-marketing strategies to blur and twist the roles of representation, network and artmaking, while humorously questioning the relationship between artist and gallery.

Born in Berlin, Germany, Gabriele Stellbaum exhibited extensively in solo and group shows in Europe and the U.S. After a long residency in New York, Stellbaum currently lives and work in Berlin.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 10, 6 - 8 p.m.
