Andy Wauman - Post Everybody

03 May - 21 June 2009


'Post Everybody', consisting almost entirely of new works, was Andy Wauman's second solo show at Deweer Gallery. It illustrated some major changes and developments his oeuvre has went through since his first exhibition here, in 2006. Wauman had clearly made choices, both in form and content. In this context, his experimental 'Black Marks' project - initiated at the Rijksakademie where he was a resident - was important. It resulted in a set of strategies which are likely to become recurrent elements in his esthetics. To name some of these evolutions: a more symbolical and reduced use of colour, the convergence of the written poetry with the visual work, a tighter relation between various objects within installations, and the increasing focus on complex ethical principles. The show testified of Wauman's waxing material vocabulary, but more importantly, it also read like a thematical chain of works. A booklet with a great poem written by Wauman, Broke Plumes of Sensation, was an important poetical guide to the show. The booklet is an edition but one copy was displayed on socle to illustrate how united words, images and forms are in the mind of this artist.
