Livingstone Gallery to present @ PULSE New York

Thu, Mar 3 - Sun, Mar 6  2016

From March 3 until March 6, Livingstone Gallery returns to PULSE New York with a special curated concept with works by Raquel Maulwurf, Daniele Galliano and Manfred Schneider. 

While Raquel Maulwurf’s previous work dealt mainly with the remnants and destruction of war, her latest work focusses on our world’s chaos when hit by the forces of nature and ecological disasters. She will make a new large scale work on paper from the “Into the trees” series which will be combined with a select group of her intriguing smart phone – sized miniature drawings which drew much attention at last year’s fair. With these works she was included in the “Top 10 artists from PULSE” on Culture Trip, while in 2014 she was nominated for the PULSE Prize.

Livingstone will also present recent works on paper made by Daniele Galliano for “Livingstone Projects,” their studio and presentation space in Berlin. Galliano’s new series of work titled “I don’t exist” reflects on the refugee crisis in his homeland Italy and in Germany. His ‘photographic realism’ works consist of images of places and people.

Also on show will be two installations by Berlin based artist Manfred Schneider. In February, Livingstone presented Schneider’s work at Art Rotterdam 2016, where he created an impressive installation containing a meteor floating over a bed with a crater landscape. For PULSE, he will create a smaller installation, entitled “Pas de deux,” of a cactus on a hill with collages of people, who seem to be aiming for the top.

The works of these three artists reflect on the contemporary crises and current places of conflict in the world, each from their own unique perspective. The artists do not show individual works but choose an installation-like presentation to offer more context to the viewer. Therefore, all works will interact with each other in the Livingstone booth.
