Been there, done that 

The motif for the work Visit to an art museum (NO.1) uses the work „Beuys Video Wall (Beuys Hat)“ by the artist Nam June Paik in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. Based on a photo- graph taken with a thermal imaging camera, the original photo was painterly enlarged and translated onto canvas using spray paint. The reduction of the works to their temperature in the form of a simple colour model leads to a confrontation between space and work and playfully scrutinises the form and content of established artistic works and their placement within traditional institutions.
