Fragment of an Infinite Discourse

In the organizer's words:

"Fragment of an Infinite Discourse" is the title of an artwork by Mexican conceptual artist Mario García Torres. Three glass rings interlock without touching each other. The work is the prelude to the exhibition and illustrates its program. It shows how subtly and at the same time indissolubly things are connected to each other and stimulates different associations, feelings and interpretations. The rings, as geometric elements, clearly indicate the infinite circular form. The exhibition title "Fragment of an Infinite Discourse" is therefore intended to represent the wealth of conceptual positions and at the same time open up the multiple possibilities of interpretations and perspectives.

In the very first room of the exhibition, we encounter "Fragment of an Infinite Discourse" in dialog with works by Giorgio Griffa, Prabhavathi Meppayil and Karin Sander. Together, the works show a range of artistic methods and cultural traditions, which are brought into contact with each other and brought into a relationship of mutual illumination. The focus is on the methods and work-specific logics of painting, conceptual art and applied techniques. Ultimately, it is the concrete nature of a work that distinguishes it from language and text.

"Fragment of an Infinite Discourse" was created as an exhibition in honor of Jörg Johnen's donation. It is being shown in conjunction with the holdings of the Lenbachhaus and the KiCo Foundation.
