The truth that in lieu of a press unlock, the painter and set up artist Friedrich Kunath supplied a poem is apt. For his solo display, I Do not Know The Position, However I Know How To Get There, on view at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles, it seems like a dialog with time, one thing this is each herbal and completely artifical and construted. Every paintings pits the wooded area and the sky with guy, whether or not bodily or technological, and but there’s something that feels at peace and at warfare. Perhaps it is a tongue and cheek approach of claiming we’re all on a trail to someplace, or possibly its simply the collective fact. —Evan Pricco
“Abendlied” via Hanns Dieter Hüsch Butterfly is coming house
Little endure is coming house
Kangaroo is coming house
The lighting aglow, the day is finished.
Codfish is swimming house
Elephant is strolling house
Ant is racing house
The lighting aglow, the day is finished.
Fox and goose are coming house
Cat and mouse are coming house
Guy and lady are coming house
The lighting aglow, the day is finished.
All is asleep and all is wide awake,
All is in tears and all is laughter,
All is silence and all is chatter,
And unfortunately, we’ll by no means understand it all.
All is screaming and all is listening,
All is dreaming after which in existence,
All will probably be changed once more sooner or later.
Already the night time sits atop our house,
Butterfly is flying house
Wild horse is bolting house
Older kid is coming house
The lighting aglow, the day is finished.
