The German duo Rindfleisch/Rapedius work with a very old genre of art history: The landscape. With installations, objects and drawings the artists create not only rural landscapes, but also urban scenarios that subvert the genre's usual expectations. Their pieces surprise with humorous imitations of natural compositions or structures, and radiate at the same time uncomplicated poetry. In their drawings, objects and installations they employ an "as-found" working method. Generally, Rindfleisch/Rapedius use easy available materials to create their environments, several of their pieces are made by serial adding of simple forms. Their work has been shown in New York, Argentina, Santiago de Chile, Paris, Ghent, Zurich, Hamburg and Berlin, the cities in which they live and work. |
