Henning Strassburger
MIAE

Henning Strassburger: MIAE was published on the occasion of the exhibition [MIAE] Meditation is an Emergency at Neue Galerie Gladbeck in 2017.

Strassburger is known for his visual language of expressive marks, strokes and recurring motifs. In his paintings he explores the position of manual painting in today’s digitally overloaded society. In Gladbeck he presents 10 paintings, each based on two charcoal drawings of celebrities in scandalous kissing scenes - Justin Bieber, Madonna, Britney Spears - as well as four small paintings of teen magazine covers .

Alongside installation shots, images of the art works and photographs by Henning Strassburger, the publication features an essay by Jeni Fulton and an interview between Henning Strassburger and Christian Malycha.
