Michael Petrowitsch. Muzealske locljivosti / Museale Auflösungen

11.11.2016 - 17.12.2016

Galerija EPEKA, Maribor / Slovenija

According to Boris Groys, photography dissolved the museum order, which was established on the fictionality of subjective, individual creativity. It has rightly destroyed it through its reproductive practice, because the museum order is illusory.

Michael Petrowitsch is currently engaged in developing the temporal sequence and its documentation, in painting and presenting works in public spaces. “Seeing” and “Knowing” are subordinated to the absolute and give the photographic gaze a special role.... Do they become part of a chronological process that connects over the role of cognition? For the beautiful exhibition space in Maribor, the artist asks this question again. With the help of his works, he tries to disrupt the circumstances and to question the spectator’s customs once again.
