Gathering is pleased to participate in Art Cologne for the second time with a presentation of works by Stefan Brüggeman, Ndayé Kouagou and Sebastian Riemer.

Ndayé Kouagou transforms wood, resin and fabric into A story for…, a new work that fuses the artist’s characteristic and paradoxical text-based practice with bright colours and abstracted shapes. Kouagou’s work will accompany Stefan Brüggeman’s Trash Mirror Boxes, a sculpture made of a set of six silkscreened mirror boxes. Brüggeman’s work blends art and language into a historically informed and conceptual practice tinged with humour.

Sebastian Riemer’s two works in the booth are from his series Stills, works that Riemer created from slides formerly used for teaching academic art history. In high magnification, these works traverse the canon of postwar art to present it as something to be memorialised but also in a material state of decay.

Irony, social commentary and text proliferate within the booth through works by these three artists.
