Andreas Fogarasi (Vienna, 1977) uses forms of display that are reminiscent of minimalism and conceptual art to explore questions of space and representation. Between a documentary and a sculptural practice, he critically analyses the aestheticization and economization of urban space and the role of architecture and the cultural field in contemporary society. Incorporating video, sculpture and installation in wide-sweeping discursive webs, Fogarasi confronts the viewer with fault lines in historiography, imagineering, and the creation of cultural identities. Yet, as much as his works are referential and seemingly didactic, their momentum is developed precisely from their formal and aesthetic presence.
