Uwe Henneken, Anselm Reyle, Thomas Zipp: Das neue Schwarz

The common idea behind this joint exhibition of the works of Uwe Henneken, Anselm Reyle and Thomas Zipp was to seek a counterconcept to the theme of the group exhibition. Surprisingly, “The New Black” turns out to be green, at once visualizing and ironizing the discussion as to whether black as the most important colour in fashion is currently being ousted by green.  In painting, green has always been considered taboo, at least according to the art critic Clement Greenberg.  These three artists play with the idea of theme-related exhibition concepts and each delivers his own statement on the subject.
