NETTIE HORN is pleased to now represent YUDI NOOR & OLIVER PIETSCH

Yudi Noor’s practice features installations, sculptures and collages. Through the use of diverse materials and objects, he creates “arrangements” of a minimalist form of language which uncannily recalls a sort of symbolism. Noor’s work can be seen as a reaction to the themes and tendencies of our society, as he reflects on questions of spirituality, belief, ritual ceremonies and their contexts within different cultures and modes of living. Born in Indonesia, his work is deeply rooted in a culture which advocates religious pluralism and the idea of “unity among diversity”. In this way, his installations and assemblage of selected objects present a dichotomy between folk tradition and industrial production.

YUDI NOOR will have his forst solo exhibition with us in October-November this year.

Developed through filmic montage, Oliver Pietsch’s videos are marked by a solid archival testimony to cinematic and audiovisual culture. From old films to more recent ones, from documentary to independent cinema through to Hollywood block-busters, the artist plays around with fictional re-interpretations, intrinsically creating a new narrative. The themes of these montages often take on an obscure exploration of human emotions and psychological torments.
