DORIT MARGREITER:
ORIGINAL CONDITION
8. June 2006 – 26. August 2006

In the actual exhibition at STAMPA Basel Dorit Margreiter assembles three new works which all relate to each other, reflecting architectures, images and media which mark our cultural memory since the beginnings of modernity.
Be it the renovated and therefore questionable "Original Condition" of modern architecture classics which also serve as scenery of movies, or seemingly "authentic" b/w-photographies which turn out to show nothing but cheap props: The highly reflective constellation of media and motivs evoke a dense network of references to cultural memory.
The video installation 10104 Angelo View Drive captures the unusual architecture by John Lautner in which he turns up side down the usual immobilitiy of a building and mobility of furnitures. The presentation of this work is itself reflecting on these questions of space generation and functionality.
