Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany
The mid-career retrospective of the South African artist Robin Rhode (*1976, Cape Town) is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication edited by Uta Ruhkamp. Robin Rhode creates his works on public walls. He photographically captures each step of the visual short story as it develops. His unique hallmark is the innovative combination of drawing, body, object and wall. In his complex artworks he succeeds in a contextual balancing act between South African history, culture, and mindset, as well as its signs and codes, and the abstract language of European-American art history.
