Geerten Verheus "ENVY EN ROSE" - Aanant & Zoo - Berlin


through December 8th 2012

Ties are symbols of masculinity and clear patriarchal order. The tautly seated, explicitly titledfabric sculptures that populate Aanant & Zoo play with the sparing dosages of Minimal Art. But with the use of the colorful advertising posters, Verheus exaggerates the elimination of the strict separation between art and –in this case– representatives of the clothing industry. That making a substantiated choice from within Verheus’ minimalist, hyperbolic pieces is so difficult underlines that selecting a single work is, in stark contrast to the current fashion in the art world, purely a matter of taste.
