Marc Straus presents Hermann Nitsch & Jong Oh ARCOMADRID 2017
HERMANN NITSCH & JONG OH
FEB 22 – 26, 2017
VIP Preview: Wed Feb 22 & Thurs Feb 23, 12pm–8pm
Hermann Nitsch (b. 1938) is a founder of Vienna Actionism in the early 1960s and is regarded as one of the most influential living artists. Over the years, his work has aroused strong passions and bore the brunt of many attacks from public. Today, Nitsch has established himself as a seminal voice with important museum shows worldwide.
In contrast, Jong Oh (b. 1981), is a site-specific Minimal sculptor whose ethereal work of string, Plexiglas, and thin metal chains captures the tranquility and nuances of a space. In ARCOmadrid, Oh will make site-specific work in response to the exhibition site, and also the vital and graphically intense paintings of Hermann Nitsch.
