PETER RÖSEL
Tizian, Rembrandt, Leonardo Spezial Automatic
17 October 2010 to 9 January 2011

Mirages in oil on canvas, plants made of police uniforms and barbed wire, landscapes on tin cans – since the 1990s Peter Rösel (*1966) has been known for a sensually unsettling art of collision, abeyance and shift of emphasis.

The Ernst Barlach Haus is now showing paintings, sculptures and videos by the Berlin-based artist and professor at the Weißensee School of Art. Central to the exhibition are installations, specially created for the museum, and a new work group: television cabinets from the 1950s and 60s – massive furniture with old-master brand names like “Tizian” or “Rembrandt” – display a surprising inner life.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue (108 pages with numerous colour plates, German/English, € 19).
