Museum exhibition
Walter Swennen: Ein perfektes Alibi
Kunstverein Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany
28 November 2015 - 14 February 2016
After initially working in the field of poetry and performance Walter Swennen (born 1946) developed an extensive artistic oeuvre since the early 1980s that makes decided use of painting as a pictorial medium. In the process, the artist retains a conceptual proximity to a painting that is now once again all too gladly elevated as art’s supreme discipline. And although it might seem traditionalistic upon first glance he nevertheless concentrates on the self-made picture with all the strengths and weaknesses of painterly means.
