Plamen Dejanoffplamen. literatur kunst leben

(Friday) (Sunday)

Location: 21er HausLocation: 21er HausElements from the spheres of art, consumerism, and everyday life have equally and controversially figured in the artistic practice of Plamen Dejanoff (b. in Sofia in 1970, lives and works in Vienna). In their formal realisation, which is frequently highly complex, his works are calculated to accentuate material aspects and superficiality while defying a clear answer as to whether they are meant as an affirmation or criticism, as commercial complicity or subversion. Such methods as branding, image transfer, and reference to his own contents and those of others are further features of Dejanoff’s work, in which he takes on multiple functions as developer, marketing strategist, or producer without ever endangering his sovereignty as an artist.Another recently started series of works comprises various appropriations of the 1960ies Czechoslovakian literature-magazine plamen (blaze in English; subtitled: Literature Art Life) that culminate in a “new issue” of the magazine, functioning as catalogue as well as genuine piece of work. The exhibition is realised in collaboration with the Ursula Blickle Stiftung, Kraichtal, Germany.
