FRANZ WASSERMANN, Gallery 5020, 2002

“Not aesthetics but ethics are the main concern of Franz Wassermann, not the aesthetics of the ugly, but the insistence on the friction between the public and the private world. Art conveys the irreducible, irrefutable experience of pain. The body as an artistic text carries the authentic expression of pain like a signature.” Hannah Stegmayer
