Claus Boehmler: En vogue is in!

November 19 – December 19, 2009

From screen tower to flat screen – a installation.

Press release: “Claus Boehmler’s current exhibition “en vogue ist in!” opens at 8 p.m. on November 19, 2009 in the Galerie Renate Kammer. From 1974 to 2005, Claus Boehmler taught at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg, thus shaping an entire generation of artists. A student of Beuys himself, Claus Boehmler is still associated with Fluxus today. He associates freely and hopes that the viewer will do the same: “The title of the exhibition itself is the program – en vogue is in! The artist asks: Can this language game, like the nonsense in the Kōans of the Zen masters, trigger a flash of inspiration? But even if he builds thematically and consistently on what occupied him early on, in his mind he is again rushing ahead of his time – perhaps only to look back on us stumbling behind with the ironic wink that is so typical of him – “en vogue is in!
