Thinking Through (13 Years)

Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler is pleased to present Pieter Schoolwerth's third solo exhibition with the gallery, Thinking Through (13 Years). Thinking Through (13 Years) premieres this fall during Berlin Art Week. The project began from the artist's impulse to distill a body of data, in this case 13 years of exhibition images displayed on the K-T Z website, in Schoolwerth's words: 'a space that has been hugely important for progressive experimentation in contemporary art in Europe and a welcoming community of people I'm continually inspired by who have supported my work for years.' The exhibition tackles questions of authorship, mnemonics, and simulation - giving expressive form to the ubiquitous question of "Is this real?,' which is so prevalent in today's digital landscape. Pieter Schoolwerth (b. 1970) lives and works in New York, received his BFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1994. He explores and experiments with the effects of generalized abstraction on representations of the human form in painting. His creative method reflects the destabilized process of identity construction in an age characterized by increasingly abstract social relations. Schoolwerth literalizes the formation, superimposition, and alienation of the contemporary body through the manipulation of multiple mediums and layers of material content. His work has been exhibited internationally at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2024); Marta Herford (2024); Petzel Gallery, New York (2024, solo); Duarte Sequeira, Seoul (2023, solo); Stavanger Art Museum, Norway (2023); Petzel Gallery, New York (2022); Petzel Gallery, New York (2022, solo); Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin (2022, solo); Kunstverein Hannover (2021, solo); Petzel Gallery, New York (2020, solo); Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin (2019, solo); the Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson (2018); Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York (2017, solo); Capitain Petzel, Berlin (2017, solo); the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2016); 356 Mission, Los Angeles (2015, solo); Gallery SKE, New Delhi (2014, solo); Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Brussels (2013, solo); the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2006); Elizabeth Dee Gallery, New York (2005, solo); Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2002); American Fine Arts, New York (2001, solo) and Greene Naftali Gallery, New York (1996, solo). From 2003 to 2013, Schoolwerth ran Wierd Records and the Wierd Party at Home Sweet Home on the LES of New York. Wierd released music by 42 bands working in the genres of minimal electronics, coldwave and noise, and produced over 500 live music, dj, and performance art events internationally.
