Drainpipes crisscross the space of the glass pavilion, closed at their ends by miniature photographs. These images represent a section of nature and seem like reminiscences from a bygone era. This is a reference to how our memory works: When we look at our old photos, we realize that they have become a condensate of our memories, while the rest \u2014 the particularity of the situation, the people around it, the sounds, the smells, etc. \u2014 has largely been discarded by our memory. Thus, on the one hand, disposal as a necessary part of our everyday lives becomes an artistic motif, but on the other hand, disposal on a mental level also becomes a focus, namely when we keep our memories alive in our minds, prioritize them, or even completely suppress certain memories. In this reading, Martin Schwenk&#8217;s installation becomes a parable for our culture of remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>Martin Schwenk (* 1960 in Bonn) is a German sculptor, installation artist, and draftsman. He studied from 1981 to 1988 at the D\u00fcsseldorf Art Academy, where he was a master student of G\u00fcnther Uecker. Schwenk has been a professor of sculpture at the Mainz University of Art and Design since 2011.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galerie-obrist.de\/artists\/schwenk\">MARTIN SCHWENK &#8211; DISPOSAL<\/a><br \/>Exhibition period: July 27\u2013August 30, 2025, open to the public all day.<br \/>Opening: Sunday, July 27, 2025, 2\u20134 PM<br \/>Closing event: Saturday, August 30, 2025, 4\u20136 PM.<\/h4>\n<p>Location: Glass Pavilion in the Gruga Park, Essen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 27\u2013August 30, 2025, open to the public all day.
