Tobias Rehberger

Born in 1966 in Esslingen am Neckar, GermanyLives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany A bright neon sign lures us into the derelict, gloomy passage to the crypts of Elisabethenkirche. It reads: «butcher shop». Once in the corridor, we are greeted by another neon work—a large, two-part piece presenting onlookers with a conundrum: «Forbidden in Heaven» and «Useless in Hell». There’s another, whose instruction we immediately fail to obey: «Don’t use your eyes».More of these tongue-in-cheek neon works are joined by smoke pillars frozen in time. Rising plumes of smoke create temporary, dynamic and unique sculptures shaped by physical forces and constraints from both within and their surroundings. By solidifying these fleeting forms, Rehberger subverts the concept of ephemerality. The illuminated signs of doom and destruction now function as harmless lamps. Created from 3-D models found abundantly online, that are then transformed by the artist, the pillars formulate a meditation on perception and authorship.A core element of Tobias Rehberger’s practice is his stretching the very concept of what a sculpture can be: termite hills, a hiking trail between Fondation Beyeler and the Vitra Design Museum, dishes with meals cooked by the artist, a replica of a nightclub, a 400-meter-long bridge. A selection of works exemplary of these approaches are currently on view as part of the comprehensive solo exhibition I do if I don’t at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. His works continue to be colorful and tangible visual objects, often interactive, through which he channels his in-tense curiosity for the world in what he says is «his way of questioning himself through art».  自由 (English: Freedom), 2017 - USD 50,001–75,000Forbidden in Heaven, Useless in Hell, 2019 -  USD 100,001-200,000Blackbird&#39;s Rockbund Art Museum Butcher Shop, 2019 -   USD 75,001-100,000ei!, 2022 - USD 25,001–50,000for / für, 2022 -  USD 25,001–50,000don&#39;t use your eyes, 2022 - USD 25,001–50,0003D Kaugummi, 2022 - USD 25,001–50,0003D Rauchsäule 1, 2022 - USD 25,001–50,0003D Rauchsäule 2, 2022 - USD 50,001–75,000Fels orange - USD 25,001–50,000Rauch 250, 2022 - USD 50,001–75,000
