New series of large-scale photographs by Anna & Bernhard Blume at Buchmann Galerie

BERLIN.- The Buchmann Galerie presents an exhibition with a new series of large-scale photographs by Anna & Bernhard Blume. TRANS-SKULPTUR is the latest group of works realized together by the husband-and wife artists; sadly, it will also be the last one, since Bernhard Blume died unexpectedly several weeks ago. As its title suggests, TRANS-SKULPTUR treats concepts of space, sculpture, and transcendence, in the humorous, ironic, and philosophical way so typical of the two artists. TRANS-SKULPTUR was created as part of a staged performance by Anna & Bernhard Blume. They wrote the following statement about TRANS-SKULPTUR: Transcendence—how is it articulated today, at the “end of the grand narratives,” after the end of metaphysics? Is there perhaps still today for sentimental references to something somehow completely different and beyond?
