PALM BEACH INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART PRESENTS AUSTRIAN ARTIST GUNTER
BRUS
Lake Worth, FL - The Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art (PBICA) is
pleased to announce first US solo museum show of Austrian artist Gunter
Brus. The exhibition will open March 21, 2002 and continue through June
16, 2002. It will be shown in the mezzanine galleries. Sue Williams: a
Fine Line, opening March 16, will occupy the ground floor galleries.
PBICA will exhibit extraordinary performance photographs from this
artist's early period and several drawings and paintings from the 1980's
until the present in which Brus explores personal and societal issues in
an Expressionist-inspired style.
"Gunter Brus has influenced generations of performance artists to this
present day" says PBICA Director and Curator of the exhibition, Michael
Rush. "His work is echoed in Paul McCarthy, Chris Burden, Matthew Barney
and many, many other contemporary artists. Brus was known for his
'extreme' bodily performances, but his work was also remarkably
beautiful as the photographs in this exhibition make clear."
A full color catalogue will accompany the exhibition with essays by Rush
and Austrian art historian Johanna Schwanberg. The catalogue will be
published in English and German.
The exhibition and museum programs of the Palm Beach ICA are generously
supported by Robert M. and Mary Montgomery.
