Fabrizio Plessi (Reggio Emilia, 1940) is one of the most remarkable and most popular Italian contemporary artists, who is foremost known for his large size, spectacular video installations. In his artworks Fabrizio Plessi merges modern technology – moving image and sound – with the simplest materials like wood or stone, in a most natural way. His spectacular works, often of large dimensions, usually exercise a deep impact on the audience, and it is almost impossible to remain unaffected.
A special feature of this exhibition – displayed at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and Koblenz – is going to be an installation titled Liquid Labyrinth, that has never been exhibited anywhere else before. Another artwork Llaüt Light calls our attention to a current social problem: on Mallorca, which is the artist’s second home, old fishing boats were destroyed for reasons of environment protection. The conflict between sustainable development and tradition is actually present in all domains of human life. Plessi’s work facilitates collective thinking and discussion on issues of nature and society and helps to find adequate solutions.

This comprehensive work provides an overview of the bulk of Peter Klasen’s work. Born in Lübeck (born 1935), he moved to Paris after his studies at the Berlin Art Academy, where both solo and group exhibitions were shown. Later, his work cycles could be seen all over the world. His highly political works dealt with the Berlin Wall and Hiroshima, among other things. Sabine Glaubitz wrote about this: “For Klasen, narrative figuration, which was influenced by the language of Pop Art, offered the possibility of implementing motifs from the new technical world – machines and constructions – in his compositions. His pictures are of a cool, impersonal, photo-like formal language, some of which represent objects from the modern consumer world in collage form. Like many of the artists of “Figuration narrative”, he has been inspired by photos from daily newspapers, magazines and film posters. (Text German, French)
