Ceal Floyer. Maximum Headroom

About

The façade of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), which connects the exhibition area with the public space of the city, on an annually alternating basis serves as a surface of intervention for different contemporary artists, on which a special project is developed for the building. The outdoor projects directly exert their influence on the public space, they encourage an active engagement with the urban environment and stimulate a debate about contemporary art and its aesthetic, social and political implications. From September 2018, the artist Ceal Floyer (b. 1968, living in Berlin) will unfold her work on the façade of the n.b.k. Ceal Floyer’s oeuvre bears the traits of the absurd, which often is even enhanced by the formal simplicity and rigor of her works. The artist sounds out our patterns of perception, but also the relationship between language, verbal image and reality.
