"My five-year-old could have painted that," who hasn't heard
this sentence before while looking at a work in a museum or gallery show? But
as the intention of painting is not anymore defined by how close the work
resembles reality, the notions of what makes a good painting differ.The group exhibition "You Can Do Better — Bad Painting Recommend by
Laura Helena Wurth" presents the work of 13 artists of different
generations who challenge but also play with the perceptions of "bad
painting". The show juxtaposes works by established artists Albert Oehlen,
Georg Baselitz, and Martin Kippenberger with works by young up and coming
artists such as Andi Fischer, Conny Maier and Navot Miller who reduce complex
matters to simple, almost childlike language of forms, defying the old, white
men.
