DU
Du magazine is transformed from a reporter on art into an object of art. It is turned into material, sketch pad, cultural disposable mass, forcibly hewn into shape by scalpel and knife. The picture and text scraps that arise in the process pierce through the treated designs from advertising and art. The messages of the latter are no longer interpretable. Content without function is made obvious, the essence of art visible. Now in all dimensions.

Commonly available white cigarette filters glued on paper are transformed into a two-dimensional object of data-handling. Once scanned and converted into this shape, the now available data itself becomes an object of filter processes. In the context of the data-handling, these algorithm-driven processes reveal, in their border areas, forms of inherent logic. Within these, the original data is transformed into mysterious symbolistic shapes, which appear to contradict the determinism of this solution.
The complex essence of these invisible algorithms and digital filters consequently becomes visible, on the object of the analogue filter, as the most improbable and yet most self-efficacious solution, in the form of colour leaps, colour seams and other artefacts as an ensemble of fantastical phenomena.

Body becomes Body
Photographs, collages, extractions, additions, sketches, explosions. In Odo Hans’s catalogue “Body becomes Body”, works from the years 2016-2019 are shown. Subject: The human body. Constructions of the Self. Starting from an original work that serves as a blank, Odo Hans develops an ever-more complex oeuvre of artificial body images, consisting of catalogues, prints and video works. These representative media are both end and starting products of his thing-associating and body-generating interventions. Doodling, dissecting, scorching, gluing, piercing gets done. Body works are buried and celebrate their resurrection. The catalogue “Body becomes Body” is a reference of these processes, and a further object of artistic explorations to come.
