JOSHUA WEBB : APATHY FOR THE SETTING SUN : GALERIE DÜSSELDORF : 10 April - 8 May 2011
The exhibition APATHY FOR THE SETTING SUN is a collection of new works created by artist Joshua Webb during his time at the Rhode Island School of Design (USA) and whilst living in New York city. The title of the show refers to the notion that if the sun sets over a thousand times in a single day all over the world, how and why does this romanticized and deceitfully nostalgic moment have any significance. Collectively these works embody a sense of the Heideggerian poiesis paradigm as form, provoking an alternative model of finality to construct sculptural and filmic containers that nonchalantly provoke a radical dialogue with the devil as they court an alternative model of finality.
