Near Distant: Gerhard Marx<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Goodman Gallery in Parkwood, Johannesburg, South Africa
8 August-8 September 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gerhard Marx continues the project of transforming visual certainties into new spatial imaginaries as he engages his interest in the construct or idea of “distance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf an encounter with an object is an encounter of presence, then the idea of distance would in some way propose an opposite encounter, an encounter with absence. Of course, there is an emotional root to an encounter with distance; distance is an open space for longing, an architecture for loss, a space of blurred certainty, an entry point to the sublime. The question, however, is to engage distance without it turning into nearness.<\/p>

I have started to see this project as being inherently political, a project of undoing; of unmaking categories; of unmaking the viewer\u2019s centrality as implied by perspective. Distance would dissolve the crisp outlines of things seen up close. In distance things can become awash, there is no clear point where one thing begins and another ends. Perhaps, I thought, I can undo the artifice of intimacy, build distance into objects, and let things become feral.”
