tiefes kehlchen
martin kippenberger
vienna, 1991

 


the main features of this piece are a tunnel-like passage, an alter ego in the shape of a dummy sitting in a wheelchair, the minimalist light strip broken kilometer – as an amalgam of a minimalist history of art from flavin and judd to walter de maria – as well as a birch wood and a series of intensely black rubber images.
tiefes kehlchen marks an important moment of transition in kippenberger’s work. the black rubber denounces the earlier flood of pictures as a fetish; the artist’s submersion in the depths of his own unconscious points not only to what has been but also leads into the conceptual spatial structures of the 1990s.
