only few more days to see
Robin Rhode‘s exhibition
Memory Is The Weapon
@kunsthalle.krems
@robinrhodeofficial is a South African artist based in Berlin
Reminiscent of practices of Street Art.
Rhode usually works in public spaces, using walls, or just the street as his "canvas." His preferred materials are easily accessible ones like charcoal and paint.
Rhode transforms simple shapes into elements of narratives, interacting with only imagined presences. This narrative practice goes back to an initiation ritual at South African high schools – that Rhode himself experienced – where new students are forced to draw and interact with their drawing.
His drawings of objects like a bicycle, a motorbike, a car, or of abstract shapes and patterns are employed as physical elements in a story, often alluding to the act of creation itself.
In 2014 Irish rock band U2 invited Rhode to direct a music video for their single, "Every Breaking Wave". The music video includes some of Rhode's signature stop frame animation stencil drawings with figures interacting with these drawings.
