Challenging perceptions of what painting is, Katharina Grosse’s installations often border on aesthetic vandalism. Each work simultaneously produces a multitude of perspectives, as well as a complete breakdown of definitions. In this talk, Grosse will expand on her current site-specific installation yes now why later at Garage and share insights into her specific understanding of painting as a complex, “pre-linguistic” space. The talk will be an opportunity to draw unexpected parallels with her work and the way in which installation has developed within the tradition of contemporary art in Russia.
