Kai Althoff and Nick Z: We Are Better Friends For It
May 5 — June 16, 2007
New York: 24th Street
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibition with artist Kai Althoff. Living and working in Germany, Althoff creates imaginary environments in which paintings, sculpture, drawing, video, and found objects commingle. Borrowing from moments of history, religious iconography, and counter-cultural movements, the evocative context is propped upon narratives simultaneously arcane yet familiar, at once deeply personal yet universal. Often collaborating with fellow artists, Althoff will work with Nick Z, a Brooklyn-based graffiti artist, for this exhibition.
