Günther Förg | "Untitled", 1994 | (for Parkett 40/41)

Read a Parkett text on Günther Förg
Parkett Vol. 40/41

Quote from Parkett
“Förg wants to access a past seemingly sealed off. He wants to reinsert himself within an apparently completed project, but a project the success or failure of which is still very much in question. It is inevitably a melancholy and nostalgic game, and regardless of the formal elegance and seduction that Förg’s installations promise, he is always somewhat a loser. Maybe part of the point of his work is being just that, a graceful, good loser in a foreclosed historical gambit—and that way, surreptitiously, a success.”
David Rimanelli, Parkett No. 40/41, 1994
