== Project Development / at Marienstraße 2 | 21.11 - 04.12.2012 ==

I have the opportunity to work in an abandoned apartment complex located on Marienstraße 2. After viewing this space I decided it was the perfect space to experiment on a larger scale incorporating the theme of Lustmord and the life of George Grosz in the 1920's. I photographed the room and started to ~~paint it black~~.

~~The PDF below features a few images of the room and a couple of quotes from George Grosz talking about his studio and working practice.~~ Grosz sees the studio as a sort of magical environment where the normal influence of the world is cut off and his imagination is free to explore ideas. I'm using this as a jumping off point to begin my own exploration ~~into~~ a fusion of a fictional space that incorporates aspects of George Grosz studio with a Lustmord scene.

Grosz sees the studio as a sort of magical environment where the normal influence of the world is cut off and his imagination is free to explore ideas. I'm using this as a jumping off point to begin my own exploration using a fusion of a fictional space that incorporates aspects of George Grosz studio with a Lustmord scene.

The working title of this installation is 'ARCHEOLOGY, EXCAVATION, AND WHAT REMAINS'. I see this installation as the first in a series of 6 pieces titled 'Death and Resurrection'. This series title is the same one Otto Dix used for his series of 6 works - one of which was a Lustmord painting.
