the kick-off event for la > x is the exhibition opening at FAHRBEREITSCHAFT on september 12, 2017. works from stephen prina and christopher williams will make up the focal point of the exhibition.

the 14-part work „monochrome painting“ by prina will be on display, an art work on the history of monochrome painting. his works take the dimensions from original formats by kasimir malevich to blinky palermo will be shown. the canvases were prepared „classically“ by the artist, but subsequently spray-painted at an auto paint shop in the color of a vw golf. it is our special pleasure to show these works at FAHRBEREITSCHAFT.

christopher williams will present ephemera. these invitations, texts, and posters all point to other works, however, not by assuming their form, but instead through motifs. usually such invitations, posters i.e., are simply-made promotional items. williams consciously transfers his motifs to giant formats. he turns the relationship upside-down and underlines this by the elaborate work necessary to frame the posters.

two of margaret honda’s works build a bridge to the la > x film festival. „spectrum reverse spectrum“ shows a 70mm-film as sculpture. honda developed a new work „film (FAHRBEREITSCHAFT)“, especially for the exhibition, where colored lighting gels, as used in hollywood film productions, are applied to windows in the operator’s reception area.
