Press Release

/
Galerie Gilla Lörcher is very pleased to present the second solo exhibition by the French artist Joël Curtz.
In his exhibition “Petites mises en abîme”, the artist Joël Curtz (born 1985) deals with the aesthetic perception process in which object experience and self-awareness flow into one another.
What is specific about the aesthetic experience? Can aesthetic art experience be differentiated from other types of aesthetic experience?
Or the other way around: Does the observational approach to an object foreign to art differ from that of an explicit work of art?
In Joel Curtz's play with aesthetic perception, sometimes only that of viewer to viewer remains of the relationship between the looking object and the viewed object.

For the exhibition “Petites mises en abîme” at Galerie Gilla Lörcher | Contemporary Art, the artist, who lives in Vienna and Paris, has selected some video works, photographs and screen prints.
