Gerhard Mantz Exhibit at Digital Art Museum [ DAM ]

Berlin - Over the last decades Gerhard Mantz has evolved from being a sculptor to becoming one of the most well known artist in Germany, working with the computer, creating virtual landscapes and animations.  This next exhibition „Forms of Unconsciousness“ at Digital Art Museum [DAM] Berlin shows a selection of new works.

The absence of consciousness as one of the last mysteries of life refers to his dualistic approach in creating his art.  Again he is confronting us with seemingly harmless landscapes, but fully artificial.  He is not even trying to be naturalistic, his idea is to capture the concept of a specific landscape, beyond our awareness.  Gerhard Mantz develops a contemporary language for a romantic view on our times, rephrasing the questions of the 19^th century on the search for a harmonic entireness.  At the same time he familiarizes us with the idea of a virtual world, parallel to the existing one.

On exhibition 8^th September 2006 – 25^th October 2006. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
