For example, the German word \u003cI\u003eSchrankwand\u003c\/I\u003e (wall unit) becomes an object in which a wall and a cupboard penetrate each other and a door in the wall stands half-open in the cupboard. \u003cI\u003ePaeninsula \u003c\/I\u003edeconstructs the word \u003cI\u003eHalbinsel,\u003c\/I\u003e which literally means “half-island.” Neither an island nor festland, the term represents the artist’s way of working. \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eLewandowsky’s \u003cI\u003ePaeninsula\u003c\/I\u003e is a place and a retrospective simultaneously, a world in which one can never be sure of the true meaning of things. \u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cBR\u003eExhibition schedule: Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin, September 9–October 15, 2006 \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Console'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e·\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;Additional venues K\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003eunsthalle Göppingen \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Console'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e·\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e Neues Museum Weserburg\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874830807304,"sku":"9783775718530","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775718530_b19e5673-b6fd-4a98-8022-2612d775e725.jpg?v=1744144294","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15640-via-lewandowsky","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
