Matthias Bitzer - Distanz 2016

In a revisionist reassessment of classic modernism, Matthias Bitzer (b. Stuttgart, 1975; lives and works in Berlin) combines portraiture with geometric construction, often drawing on the formal vocabulary, plots, and intellectual history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His work in media such as painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, and site-specific installation art speaks a characteristic symbolic language.

The book documents the evolution of Bitzer’s conceptions of time-space through four of his most representative solo exhibitions to date. Individual catalogue sections illustrate the shows “Anatol Echo” at Almine Rech, Paris, “Amherst/Ether/Fields” at Francesca Minini, Milan, “Saturnine Swing” at Marianne Boesky, New York, and “The Collapse of Features” at KadelWillborn, Düsseldorf.
