Author Description

Starting from the installation and series of glass paintings entitled Modernology, this catalogue presents Pumhosl's ongoing involvement reflecting and integrating motifs, issues and materials of early non-western avant-gardes. While Sabeth Muchmann and Jan Verwoert are discussing Pumhosl's works and strategies from two different perspectives, Thomas Hackners contribution provides an insight into the work of Japanese book artist Onchi Koshiro, whose abstract formal language has become both source and subject of Pumhosl's mode of depiction.
