                    KRIS MARTIN (Kortrijk 1972 - lives and works in Mullem) The End. 2006. Mirror with foil. 200 × 300 cm. With artist's frame. Provenance: - Artist's studio. - Purchased directly from the artist by the present owner, since then collection Germany. Born in 1972, the Belgian Kris Martin, with his multifaceted œuvre of drawings, sculptures, installations and photographs, is one of the most influential artists within contemporary conceptual art, which has a long tradition in Belgium. With his participation in the 4th Berlin Biennale in 2006, Kris Martin's work became accessible to a larger, international art public, and the presentation at P.S.1 in New York that followed in 2007 consolidated his reputation. Martin's œuvre deals with human existence and its contradictions, analysing situations with poetry, wit and humour, but also vehemence. He often draws on familiar materials, sometimes altering them to challenge the viewer's awareness. The present large-format work is a mirror with the words "The End" – a set phrase we know from the cinema, from books, etc – written in reverse. As viewers, we become part of this work, because we see ourselves in the mirror. However, Martin cleverly plays with our perception, because while we are being reflected, the writing is indeed back-to-front, but remains static. With every movement, the viewer's image changes, but the writing completely eludes this change. This realisation is surprising because, from experience, we expect it to be otherwise. "The End" is an existential question that the artist poses with this work, but gives the viewer room for manoeuvre, and thus at the same time challenges them not to surrender to this finality, but to question their lives. --------------- KRIS MARTIN (Kortrijk 1972 - lebt und arbeitet in Mullem) The End. 2006. Spiegel mit Folie. 200 × 300 cm. Mit Künstlerrahmen. Provenienz: - Atelier des Künstlers. - Vom heutigen Besitzer direkt beim Künstler erworben, seitdem Sammlung Deutschland. Der 1972 geborene Belgier Kris Martin ist mit seinem abwechslungsreichen Œuvre von Zeichnungen, Skulpturen, Installationen und Fotografien einer der einflussreichsten Künstler der zeitgenössischen Konzeptkunst, die in Belgien eine lange Tradition hat. Mit der Teilnahme an der 4. Berlin Biennale 2006 wird die Arbeit von Kris Martin einem grösseren, internationalen Kunstpublikum zugänglich gemacht und die 2007 folgende Präsentation am P.S.1 in New York festigt sein Renommé. Martin beschäftigt sich in seinem Œuvre mit der menschlichen Existenz und deren Widersprüchlichkeiten, indem er mit Poesie, Witz und Humor aber auch mit Vehemenz Situationen analysiert. Er greift dabei oft auf bekannte Materialien zurück, die er teils verändert, so dass das Bewusstsein des Betrachters herausgefordert wird. Das vorliegende, grossformatige Werk ist ein Spiegel mit der spiegelverkehrten Schrift „The End“ – eine Floskel, die wir aus dem Kino, aus Büchern, usw. kennen. Als Betrachter werden wir Teil dieser Arbeit, denn wir sehen uns ja im Spiegel. Geschickt spielt Martin aber mit der Wahrnehmung, denn während sich der Betrachter spiegelt, ist die Schrift zwar spiegelverkehrt, bleibt aber statisch. Mit jeder Bewegung verändert sich das Bild des Beobachters, aber die Schrift entzieht sich dieser Veränderung vollkommen. Diese Erkenntnis überrascht, denn erfahrungsgemäss erwarten wir es anders. "The End" ist eine existentielle Frage, die der Künstler mit dieser Arbeit stellt, gibt dem Betrachter aber Spielraum, und fordert ihn somit gleichzeitig auf, sich dieser Endgültigkeit nicht hinzugeben, sondern sein Leben zu hinterfragen.
