Wow its been a minute since we have posted and searching through saved posts I found this amazing exhibition that we never got around to sharing with you. So in true Taps & Moses fashion where they post happening much after the fact, we will also share this exhibition with you. ‘Flickwerk’ was a solo exhibition by the duo that took place in San Francisco Dec 2015.
About the Exhibition “FLICKWERK
”
In their first exhibition in the United States titled FLICKWERK, MOSES & TAPS will show works from their eponymous series. Flickwerk is the German word for patchwork but with a slightly negative connotation in direction to a ‘haphazard’ / ‘unprofessional’ way of doing things. In their collage-like images of this series, MOSES & TAPS describe the dilemma of two independent artists, each operating in a variety of categories, whose beholder nevertheless request a recognizable characteristic style.
With the FLICKWERK show, the artists will create pictorial reinterpretations
of already existing pieces, showing details of the pieces painted on canvas. These details will be cut out, rearranged and then combined to form a new, unique picture, put together specifically for the show itself. Taken out of context, these details have very little to do with their original statements and thus caricaturing the claim to the artists to commit themselves to a single characteristic style.
