Stephan Balkenhol & Dan Graham
For the first time in history, works by Dan Graham (1942 in Urbana – 2022 in New York City) will be juxtaposed with works by Stephan Balkenhol (*1957 in Fritzlar, Germany). Both artists have been closely associated with the exhibition history of Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle since the 1980s, but their works have never been shown in tandem. In their sculptural works, Dan Graham and Stephan Balkenhol deliberately guide the viewer’s gaze and immediately confront it with itself – Graham by way of his mirror pavilions using their surroundings, and Balkenhol with his iconic figures that let the viewer seek eye contact in vain, thus promptly encouraging introspection.
