"In order to understand this work of art completely, one should drill daily for twelve hours with heavily packed knapsack in full marching gear on the Tempelhof Field." (John Heartfield & Rudolf Schlichter on the "Prussian Archangel" at DADA, Berlin 1920) MKM Gallery presents a video installation by Simon Wachsmuth, referencing the famous "Prussian Archangel" of the Berlin DADA exhibit 1920: a puppet hanging from the exhibit's ceiling wearing a Prussian uniform with a pig's mask on his face. The work was understood then as a scathing assault on the military, and on the bourgeois culture at large. The artist's video work provokes a re-visiting of post WW I anti-war iconography way beyond the debates engulfing ruangrupa's documenta fifteen in Kassel 2022. SIMON WACHSMUTH (*1964 in Hamburg) graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and his work has been shown in numerous international solo- and group exhibitions since. Wachsmuth was a participant in DOCUMENTA 12, the 11th International Istanbul Biennial, and the legendary ATLAS exhibition curated by Georges Didi-Huberman. He is represented by Zilberman Istanbul/Berlin. Simon Wachsmuth lives an works in Berlin. Solo & Friends exhibitions are dedicated to one single position, accompanied by the entire current ensemble of MKM arists.
