More info

This exhibition, produced in close collaboration with the artist, centres on what for Huck is a fundamental question: texts and their relationship to images, language and its representation, what can and cannot be said, what makes memory and what makes history. Just as in his practice meanings arise from a montage of texts and images, the superimposition of different images and the uncertainty of the images themselves, this exhibition is organized through association of ideas. Here Huck has set up dialogues between works of different periods and very different kinds. Pieces from major drawing series stand side by side with those produced on media as diverse as tarpaulins, jute sacks, plants and neon lights, in a non-chronological, meaning-generating itinerary.
