AJAY KURIAN
“American Artist”
Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf
Through Januray 13, 2018
What the Gallery Says: “In his first exhibition with the gallery, Ajay Kurian presents new and recent works that can be read as a murder ballad for America in sculptural form.”
Why It’s Worth a Look: This multifaceted exhibition oozes with a creeping feeling. Kurian has rethought some of his iconic sculptural materials into new constellations, using artworks as evidence, and connecting Americana and the alt-right movement with pre-war Germany and Brecht’s theater.
