111010: Artelier Contemporary Christian Philipp Müller

Artelier Contemporary Christian Philipp Müller – ach wie gut dass niemand weiss (Alas, I am glad that nobody knows) 24.09.10 – 04.12.10 Loden-transfer Christian Philipp Müller created installations and artistic actions dealing with the traditional Styrian weatherproof cape (Lodenmantel) at the Artelier Contemporary under the ironic title “Alas, I am glad that nobody knows”. The artist tears the archaic piece of clothing out of its normal context and transfers it in a different colour into a different environment. Draped in a red or at times in a white Loden-coat Müller shows up in the Styrian countryside as well as in Miami or New York. His actions evoke reactions, which, depending on the colour of his weatherproof cape and the onlookers values, either ascribe religious, occult or myth-enshrouded connotations to the artist. Photographs of these situations are exhibited on the traditional green-coloured Loden. In his installations, Müller associates the Loden-cape with relicts of its functional origin and, as in all of his works, questions topics of cultural identity and transfer, as well as relevance and the importance of coding and authenticity.
