WEDNESDAY
Dieter Roth at Hauser & Wirth
January 23 – April 13, 2013
Opening: January 23, 6PM–8PM
511 West 18th Street
Sculptor, painter, printmaker, collagist, poet, diarist, graphic designer, publisher, filmmaker, and musician, German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930 – 1998) has been described as “a performance artist in all the mediums he touched.” Everything Roth made for this exhibition involved acting out a central concept of art and life as utterly indivisible – a single enterprise in which material stuff is subservient to the emotional and sensual experience for which it stands.

The third in a trilogy of 3D videos that started with Civilization (Megaplex) (2008) and Evolution (Megaplex) (2010), Creation (Megaplex) (2012) presents a spectacular cinematic composition that culls from a vast archive of iconic Hollywood films.
