CRONE

Our booth at this year’s ART DÜSSELDORF: A solo presentation by the German conceptual, performance and installation artist CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI.

The presentation focuses on two main themes: On the one hand, it deals with authorship, participation and the involvement of people with no prior experience of art – issues that have always defined Jankowski’s work. Secondly, the works on display focus specifically on the function, impact and nature of monuments, and their deconstruction

For the project HEAVY WEIGHT HISTORY, Jankowski explored physical monuments as symbols of old and new identities. In the work group HOOPING GUGGENHEIM, he playfully questions the interrelationship between artist and institution. And in his sculpture series MOLDED CITY, he involved schoolchildren in the production process.

Now on view at CRONE WIEN: Otto Zitko‘s solo exhibition CARDBOARDS.

Otto Zitko is known for his vibrating, exuberant meshes of lines, which he paints on walls, ceilings, or aluminum panels, and in which the immediate, performative act of painting becomes instantly palpable to the viewer. With his most recent series, the CARDBOARDS, Zitko turns to smaller, more intimate formats.

It almost seems as though the artist – after having set out with his expansive works to describe the world – returns to his studio in order to reconsider the classical motifs of painting from the ground up.

“Zitko’s works,” writes the artist and curator Gregor Schmoll in a text accompanying the exhibition, “are distillations of painting which, in their radical uniqueness and autonomy, are capable of provoking endless wonder – an expression of their (overwhelming) presence.”

On view until May 7, 2026
