Andrea Büttner

This first monographic survey of work by Andrea Buettner includes painting, woodcut, sculpture, photography and video from the last ten years, as well as installation views from recent exhibitions, including Documenta 13, Kassel 2012. Texts by leading art writers Lars Bang Larsen, Richard Birkett and Chus Martinez, alongside an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Nikolas Hirsch explore Büttner's artistic strategies from the use of material poverty to interrogate the production of value; the adoption of a position of vulnerability to undermine social judgement; and art historical sampling to provoke the dissolution of the aesthetic self.
