View of the installation made at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
Solo exhibition for the Jahresausstellung 2017. Klasse Prof. Gregor Schneider.
30 former window panes from the Alte Pinakothek in Munich.
94/83 cm each. First images taken in the museum in 2015.
The defective panes were collected from the museum’s renovation site and exchanged with panes from the studio that had the same dimensions.
30 out of 40 panes were set in place and 10 windows were left empty to allow air to enter the empty exhibition space.
The drip marks of the UV and infrared filter caught between the layers of glass generated abstract drawings. These filters, which are supposed to protect the paintings of the museum’s great masters, are reacting to the sun.
Formerly exposed on the city side, the panes were transferred to the park side of the academy, thus continuing their degradation in the new space. The hammering and acetone cleaning operation has deliberately reinforced certain cracks and runs.

VOID PRINTS
Cotton canvas dyed in light-sensitive material, applied against the missing panes of the exhibition windows. The thirty defective UV protection panes still served their purpose and prevented the sun from shining through the panes. Only the ten missing panes of glass were able to print the void. October 2017, Munich art academy, entrance hall.

SERIE OF THIRTEEN PINAKOTHEK WINDOW HEATED IN GLAS OVEN
Each glass pane reacts differently to the heat of the oven, depending on the firing time (200 – 1000 C° degrees)
