LOCATION

2023

Created for Über das Neue / On the New at Belvedere 21, the installation brings the fictional art space LOCATION from Breeder or Sucker Ep. 1 into a real institutional exhibition. It combines Breeder or Sucker Episode 3, FOMO, as well as the Behind the Scenes footage, accompanied with oversized cardboard sculptures, cement objects and live performance, Gash’s Revenge Plays.

Location brings together Breeder or Sucker Episode 3, the standalone film Behind the Scenes, cardboard and cement sculptures, and a live performance of Gash's Revenge Plays.

The title borrows the name of the fictional off-space in Breeder or Sucker Episode 1 and turns it into an exhibition site populated by the artist's recurring characters and institutions.
