Marko Lehanka | Schöne Grüße vom Country-Boy

09.09.–01.11.2003

We are pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by Marko Lehanka in our gallery. The extensive showing in Bogen 52 is also Marko Lehanka’s first solo presentation in Berlin. Among Lehanka’s most important prior exhibitions are his contributions – spaces – to the series “Szenenwechsel” (“Change of Scene”) in the MMK Frankfurt. Andreas Bee writes in the catalogue for Szenenwechsel XVII:

„Urged on by curiosity and desire, Lehanka constantly examines what is, perhaps because it could be unlike what it at first glance seems to be. He takes a stance which vacillates between subversion and impertinence, a mistrustful, indeed at times heretical attitude towards all rigid, restricting conventions. Lehanka attacks the pathos of false grandeur, seeks to unearth the truly interesting in the banal.“
