{"product_id":"14893-olaf-breuning","title":"Olaf Breuning","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the last three years the Swiss artist Olaf Breuning has become widely known through his participation in various international group exhibitions, including Missing Link (Kunstmuseum Bern\/Kunst Haus Dresden), Hypermental (Kunsthaus Zürich\/Kunsthalle Hamburg) and Let\u0026#39;s Entertain (Walker Arts Center, Minneapolis\/Centre Pompidou, Paris\/Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg). In his photographs, videos and installations - seen here for the first time in a comprehensive overview - Olaf Breuning engages with the reality of the media that surround us day in, day out. In doing so he draws on a huge fund of images from films, television and advertising, video clips and computer games which he brings together in a hybrid mix of nonchalant elegance. For Breuning nothing is too sacred or profane to be icluded in one of his playfully subtle combinations: in his installation Ugly Yelp (2000), for instance, Breuning creates an ensemble from the accoutrements of occultism, New Age fads and vampire films - combining disgust, sweetness and kitsch, horror, levity and gravity to create a world of unforgettable images.
