For his forthcoming exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, Stefan Brüggemann takes the title of the exhibition, ‘HYPER-PALIMPSEST’, as a point of departure. The resulting site-specific installation creates an immersive space for active reflection by allowing layers of political and cultural history to be overlaid with the artist’s timeless and iconic text statements.

About the Artist

Stefan Brüggemann

Spanning—and sometimes combining—sculpture, video, painting, and drawing, Stefan Brüggemann’s work deploys text in conceptual installations rich with acerbic social critique and a post pop aesthetic. Born in Mexico City and working between Mexico, London and Ibiza, the artist’s oeuvre is characterized by an ironic conflation of Conceptualism and Minimalism. In this way, Brüggemann’s practice sits outside the canon of the conceptual artists practicing in the 1960s and 1970s, who sought dematerialisation and rejected the commercialisation of art. Instead his aesthetic is refined and luxurious, whilst maintaining a punk attitude.
