Exhibition
Every Centre a Periphery. Every Periphery a Centre.
Exhibition of German artist Horst Weierstall at the Larnaka Municipal Art Gallery
Opening: Friday, 8 December 2017, 20:00
Duration: 8 December 2017 - 31 January 2018
The Larnaka Municipal Art Gallery presents the exhibition of the German artist Horst Weierstall, entitled Every Centre a Periphery Every Periphery a Centre, curated by Marina Christodoulidou, to take place from 8 December 2017 until 31 January 2018.
The title, Every Centre a Periphery Every Periphery a Centre, suggests the concept of the artist who identifies it not only with peripheral places he visits throughout the world, but also which he experienced and developed through his work, with Larnaka’s landscape as his point of reference.
Horst Weierstall's practice combines drawing, calendars, archival material, collages, photography, artist books, site-specific installations, paintings and shots from performances – praxis – for which the artist uses his body as his means of expression. Characterised for his distinctive way of observing a landscape and transcending the experiences he captures and feels into art, one would say that his work is temporary and simultaneously timeless, filled with poetry and emotion.
The exhibition will be opened by the Mayor of Larnaka, Mr Andreas Vyras, and the Director of the Goethe Institut Cyprus, Mrs Karin Varga, on Friday, 8 December 2017, at 20:00.
On Wednesday, 31 January 2018, at 20:00, the premiere of the Horst Weierstall documentary, which is directed by Nicolas Iordanou and Sylvia Nicolaides, will take place at the exhibition space.
The filming of the documentary has been made possible with the generous support of Goethe Institut Cyprus.
