he's back! artist in residence, tilman porschuetz is back in berlin.

as his first coup, he has landed an exhibition at the korean cultural centre. we were there at the exhibition opening and watched his breathtaking gasp-long performance (yes exactly one breath long!.. and no, nothing else would follow.(nice!))




the exhibition with the title "fremdkoerper" (german for: alien element) displays works that reflect everyday korean symbolism - but through the eyes of a western, albeit slightly warped perspective.














gum boots, duct tape, rice paper, traditional monk garments and concrete are questioned by tilman's works - they are redefined and re-evaluated through his eyes.















through his alien and critical observation of korean objects and phenomenas that are usually dismissed as self-evident, tilman opens the viewers eyes to the contrast of german and korean perception.
































we were thrilled to find the entire PLATOON crew represented in one of the showcases and we would like to congratulate the korean embassy to their new and very well set-up cultural centre!

tilman's exhibition will go on until the 02.07.2010. and you can go and see it at the korean cultural centre berlin, leipziger platz 3.
