Press Release
José Montealegre’s second solo exhibition at Galerie Thomas Schulte, Drastic Measures, presents sculptures and works on paper, which, through varied materials and their corresponding processes, carry remnants and insinuations of force. The works reflect on historical instruments of power and authority, intervening in and destabilizing these persisting structures through the simulation and reproduction of their means.
The repetition and transfer of images, forms and materials throughout engages the seductive power of art, while drawing connection to the strategies and narratives of war and conquest. In references to weaponry, armor, displays of strength or their surrounding structures, art’s role in constructing spaces is called into question – as potentially both offering protection, a refuge, and acting in complicity, giving shape to unfolding systems of power. A field of tension opens up – heightened to a breaking point, continuously on the brink of disintegration and forming anew.
