The Perception of the Extraordinary in the Ordinary

The German artists Maik and Dirk Löbbert became internationally known in the nineties through their subversive interventions in public space and their photographic works. Their location-specific and context-reflective works have moved the concept of structure in new directions and expanded the contemporary notion of sculpture beyond its conventional limits. They thus belong to the most important representatives of so-called Kontextkunst [context art].
Ever since the early eighties, the formal and textual analysis of places, rooms, and situations has been the core theme of the work of Maik and Dirk Löbbert. Their starting point is always the respective exhibition site with all its historical, social, societal, and aesthetic aspects. The two brothers analyze the existing situation and extract what is relevant for their work: the extraordinary and unique elements of the location. In most cases, they react to the given situation by changing its context. By tiny, hardly perceptible alterations, they call attention to existing items in a special way. Almost always, they work with the materials and objects they find on the spot. Hence, a perfect symbiosis develops between art and reality: the context becomes the content of the work, and the work becomes part of the context.
The exhibition inside-out shows the many facets and the complexity of the Löbbert brothers’ works. Bulk garbage works from the eighties, photographic works, drawings, unpublished videos, and documentations of architectural interventions in public space will be presented. They include numerous works made specifically for the exhibition inside-out. The location-related intervention that extends over the central atrium of Merano arte is a special highlight.
