Delphine Reist. ÖL [oil, olio, huile]

Incontinent ink-jet printers, leaky oil drums, dancing DIY drills and sanders – when Delphine Reist inspects our workplaces, certainties are turned on their head and humdrum things take on a creative life of their own. Reist shares Tinguely’s mischievous habit of transplanting everyday situations into new and seemingly pointless semantic contexts, at the same time lending them a precarious beauty. The varied ‘obstacle course’ that she designed for this exhibition presents important works of art from her oeuvre while reflecting on the venue.
