Description: The Austrian artist Gerold Tagwerker creates simple objects and forms that are incrementally perceived as?seeing machines? in the sense of a dispositif of the gaze that subtly foreground the status of the viewer, engaging with the individual?s routine operations of seeing, classifying, and comprehending. Phenomenological presence, powerful semiotic reference, and commentary on art alternate seamlessly. Tagwerker?s mirrored works contain a socioaesthetic and art-sociological component, as they make the viewer part of the work and also serve the function of mirroring the imposition of present-day subjectivity, thus making it negotiable as an ideological structure.
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
