Frankfurt,

Germany – The great philosophical questions are actually banal, says
Sebastian
Gögel, because everyone asks them. In fact, the only reason they’re
considered
“great” is because everyone asks them. In the works of the
Leipzig-based
artist they are at any rate omnipresent: life and death, becoming and
passing,
accompanied by the whole panoply of human fears and needs and the states
that
summon them. They all take – in some cases drastic – shape here, but
never in a
way that would convey a moral judgement. Exhibition on view at
Galerie Adler from 8 May
through 26 June,
2010.
