KINDL Berlin will present a solo exhibition of works by Friedrich Kunath, encompassing painting, sculpture, installation and video. With references to landscape painting, GDR television, and pop music, the presentation will revolve around questions of distant wanderings and arrival. Kunath combines themes such as longing, loneliness, euphoria and fear with impressions of his adopted home in California. The works, often exaggerated to the point of the grotesque, comment on the present in a way that is as melancholy as it is astutely humorous.
