ongoing schmidt pick is the first show curated by Erik Schmidt for carlier | gebauer. Setting the premise for the gallery’s 30th anniversary year, his 8th exhibition at carlier | gebauer has a special charm. Spanning the 1990s all the way through to the present day, ongoing schmidt pick gives us the opportunity to contemplate through the eyes of Schmidt as Flaneur. As Schmidt has been represented by the gallery for 22 years, his body of work also mirrors the history and development of the gallery itself – a fitting testament to our first exhibition of 2021, the year of the 30th anniversary of the gallery.
Born out of a necessity to contextualise Schmidt’s work within both his own oeuvre and
within the work of a younger generation of artists. The show acts as a retrospective in which the importance of Schmidt’s practice of observation of public, private and social spaces are brought to the fore.
