DOCUMENTA XII, Kunstverein Rosenheim, 2006
“Art is not a tabula rasa; instead, art is created in an art context. A second look shows that art is not even democratic, i.e. it is not generally accessible because art requires that its viewers engage themselves intensively with the work in order to achieve understanding. Franz Wassermann uses this concept to work multifacetedly: he quotes, carries forward and changes that which has been generated by art history as well as uses notable brand names like the titles of renowned exhibitions, art institutions (e.g. ALBERTINA) and major works of art.” Hannah Stegmayer
