Neue Kunstspaziergänge

To Catch a Fish with a Song: 1964–Today entsteht in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. Mit rund fünfzig Werken liefert die umfassende Retrospektive in den KW einen Überblick über Hreinn Friðfinnssons Schaffen, das sich mittlerweile über ein halbes Jahrhundert erstreckt. Es ist zudem die erste institutionelle Einzelausstellung des isländischen Künstlers in Deutschland.

In the early 1970s, the Icelandic artist Hreinn Friðfinnsson (b. 1943, Iceland) placed an advert in a Dutch art magazine asking people to send him their secrets. By posing as a collector of secrets, the artist would, he thought, allay suspicions that he had any ulterior motive in using or revealing privileged information that might come his way. It is like something from a novel by José Saramago, or an urban myth or rumour. The secret, Fridfinnsson may be telling us, is that there isn’t one. His art, on the other hand, is an invitation to imagine that there might be. (here)
