Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum,
Artelier Contemporary – Neuer Showroom:
Michael Schuster
Attention: Trap!
The Galerie Artelier Contemporary recently opened its Neuer Showroom (new showroom) with artwork by Michael Schuster. Among the works are his three-dimensional, colourful typefaces and his premiere presentation of the Graz-variation of “Amerika-Arbeit” with the Kodak Color Control Patch. In his most recent photographs, Schuster utilizes digital methods and thereby consequently continues his primordial artistic approach.
Simultaneously the Neue Galerie is presenting an extensive retrospective of Schuster’s oeuvre, including new or remastered works. The centrepiece of the retrospective is his space-encompassing installation Leptis Magna, a panorama photograph of the antique amphitheatre in the Libyan Desert, taken with a round shot camera.
The artist never makes a secret of the technical appliances or the technologies he used, on the contrary – he conspicuously integrates them into his presentations: strikingly so in “The Hasselblad Room” and the “Autofokusfalle” (auto focus trap). Both of these works have been reprinted using digital photography, thus proving Schuster’s interest in technological feasibility and the abiding actuality of his oeuvre.
