Press Release
With the exhibition Copy of a Wall, Kunstverein Friedrichshafen presents new works by Lin Olschowka that engage with contemporary processes of transmission, repetition, and the transformation of images. How does an image come into being at the moment of transition, where an original turns into a copy? Central to the exhibition are both the finished works and the process itself, in which meaning shifts or becomes unstable. The painted images refer to one another and leave open the question of whether they originate from an original or whether this original only emerges through the act of viewing.
In the exhibition, Olschowka works painterly with scale and mirroring. Two nearly identical paintings of a selfportrait in front of the chalk cliffs on Rügen refer to the Romantic pictorial tradition of Caspar David Friedrich. The subjective gesture of the selfportrait here encounters a logic of duplication more closely associated with industrial reproduction than with artistic uniqueness.…
