Martin Schepers. Unter Grund
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition "Underground" by Martin Schepers examines the processes of deep drilling. For research purposes, Schepers has been to the only German drilling platform, the "Mittelplate", which has been extracting oil in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park since 1985 and is constantly skimming off new drilling fields.
In his examination of deep drilling, the artist explores the extent to which a substance such as oil determines everyday life and influences the artistic production conditions within painting. It is an autogeographic painting that uses his own biography, read as an example, to trace the shaping of social life from places of energy production: a raw material such as oil permeates our existences in many ways, determining not only the objects we deal with every day, but also our habitus, our rituals and the entire ecosystem and the forms of life that exist within it.
