About The Work

Wolfgang Plöger’s edition for Provinz does not have an algorithm as the foundation of its quest for pictures, but nonetheless studies the friction between a digital regime and analogue material. The 12-color aquarelle paintbox seen here, as its name “Inverted Spectrum” reveals, presents the color-inverted version of a commercial paintbox of the Schmincke Company. During its fabrication process, the colors were inverted on the computer and the result then mixed and produced by Schmincke. To this end, along with the owl logo, directions and box, the entire receptacle was subjected to a color transformation. Plöger rendered the receptacle and the “package insert” in a silkscreen print and repainted the metal box by hand. The paint substance was single-handedly cast, dried and given a made-up nomenclature (e.g. Botsuana Regen, Köln Rosa or Kleiner Kohlweißling). This is the way that Wolfgang Plöger generates new and completely unusual color combinations: thus a multiple, which has at least a potential practical value.

“Inverted Spectrum” appears in a small publication, each one accompanied by a digital print of a xeroxed and likewise inverted color system by the 18th century English architect, William Benson. He had taken a cube as his basis, so resolving the additive and subtractive color mix into images.

About Wolfgang Ploger

Wolfgang Plöger comes from a generation that grew up when an expanded notion of art and the associated softening of existing disciplinary borders and the saturation of everyday by the media was taken for granted. He reflects the developments and engagements of expanded cinema, its critical questioning of the relationship of a media image and physical space as well as it opening of instable spatial and temporal parameters especially today again possesses currency. When for example he positions technical devices visible in space and leads the filmstrip freely through its projection arrangement, he does not do so with the aim of placing himself in the context of structural film and conceptual art, which sought to expose the operation and mechanisms of film and video projection, but on the basis of a questioning of an everyday life defined by digitization that increasingly constitutes itself as a reality. Plöger’s installations move between sculpture, painting, and film, between standing and moving images, between real objects in physical space and fictive objects illusionistic space. They work on the phenomenological question of perception and study material, light, and shadows, as well as movement and motionlessness.

Wolfgang Plöger’s works have been on view at Künstlerhaus Bremen (2009), Kunst-Werken Berlin (2008), MUMOK Vienna (2008), Kunsthalle Malmö (2005), and P.S.1 MoMA, New York (2002).
