ART DÜSSELDORF
Apr 16- Apr 19, 2026
 

For ART DÜSSELDORF, works by Kazuko Miyamoto (born 1942), Brishty Alam (born 1988), and David Gruber (born 1989) are set in dialogue. The exhibited works reference vertical and horizontal spaces through connecting patterns. These patterns, from grids to neuronal networks, inform or disrupt any analytical rasterization of spacial order. Alam’s large-scale sculpture, which in itself is the negative imprint of another work, is the shedded skin of its former self, a biomorphic residue. Gruber’s paintings appear as fractured remains, of masks or shapes in states of flux and visual uncertainty. Miyamoto’s early string pieces from 1972 focus on the artist’s transition from minimalist pattern to a more bodily form that would become increasingly important to the artist. Further, the artists’ individual practices refer to each other through their reduced, anti-opulent and muted materiality. When viewed together, the three artists present ways of perceiving identity beyond the occupancy of spatial volume towards individuality and intimacy.
