RESET I and MODERNISM
Sept 5 – Nov 28, 2015
Der US-Amerikaner Evan Roth ist Mitbegründer des Free Art and Technology Lab (F.A.T.Lab), einem internet-basierten Kunst- und Technologie-Kollektiv, das an der Schnittstelle von Open-Source-Hacking und Populärkultur arbeitet. Sein Œuvre umfasst Videos, Skulpturen und Arbeiten auf Papier ebenso wie rein webbasierte Projekte. Evan Roth wurde 2012 mit dem Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award ausgezeichnet. Seine Arbeiten wurden in internationalen Institutionen wie dem Centre Pompidou, der Kunsthalle Wien und der Londoner Tate Gallery ausgestellt, einige Werke wurden für die ständige Sammlung des Museum of Modern Art, New York, angekauft. In diesem Sommer präsentierte das Knoxville Museum of Art eine große Einzelausstellung von Evan Roth.
Evan Roth veranschaulicht in seinen Werken die unterschiedlichsten Vorgänge, die sich beim Surfen im Netz und beim Umgang mit dem Smartphone ereignen. Er erkundet das Verhältnis zwischen Missbrauch und Ermächtigung und den Effekt, den die Philosophien von Hacker-Gemeinschaften haben können, wenn sie auf digitale und nicht-digitale Systeme übertragen werden. So verfolgt er die Bewegungen unserer Finger auf dem Bildschirm der Smartphones, macht sich im Internet auf Geistersuche oder kreiert Skulpturen, deren Formen aus den Bewegungen von Graffiti-Künstlern generiert wurden. In dem Bewusstsein, dass der rasend schnelle Informationsaustausch im Netz eine neue historische Erfahrung darstellt, schafft Roth ein Werk, das schnell zu verstehen ist und dabei in mindestens drei Zeitlichkeiten wahrgenommen werden kann: Online, in einer Galerie und innerhalb eines historischen Kontextes.
„Digitale Medien sollten frei sein und kopiert werden. Das ist ihr natürlicher Zustand. Es ist wie fließendes Wasser. Wir sind alle Teil der digitalen Revolution. Sie passiert so schnell, und es gibt eine Gruppe informierter Sammler, die anfangen, die Arbeit auf eine vertraute Weise zu sehen.“
– Evan Roth (The New York Times, 30. Mai 2014)

A native of the US, Evan Roth is a co-founder of the Free Art and Technology Lab (F.A.T. Lab), an internet-based art and technology collective that is active at the interface between open-source hacking and popular culture. His work includes videos, sculptures and works on paper as well as purely web-based projects. In 2012, Roth received the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award. His works have been exhibited by international institutions like the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Kunsthalle Wien and the London Tate Gallery, and a number of works have been purchased for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This summer the Knoxville Museum of Art will be presenting a large individual exhibition by Roth.
Roth’s works visualise the wide range of processes that take place when surfing the net and using a smartphone. He explores the relationship between misuse and empowerment and the effect that philosophies from hacker communities can have when applied to digital and non-digital systems. For instance, he follows the movements of our fingers on the screens of smartphones, hunts through the internet for ghosts and creates sculptures whose forms were generated by the movements of graffiti artists. With an awareness that the tremendous speed at which information is exchanged on the web represents a new historical experience, Roth creates a work that can be quickly grasped and perceived in at least three time frames: online, in a gallery and within a historical context.
“Digital media should be free and copied. That’s its natural state. It’s like water flowing. We’re all part of the digital revolution. It’s happening so fast, and there is a new group of informed collectors who are beginning to understand the work in an intimate way.”
– Evan Roth (The New York Times, 30 May 2014)
