White Trash Contemporary (WTC) Hamburg presents Oliver Ross, “Emergentia Multiplex”: paintings and installation. For his first solo show at WTC artist Oliver Ross (born 1967 in Munich) transforms the gallery space into an elaborate labyrinth of “deco-rational paravants”. Esthetically Ross’s work oscillates between the humorous collage art of Dada artists and the manic production power of Art Brut types like Adolph Wölfi. Opening, May 13, 2006. With a special open air performance by Saboteur (glam punk). By VTV correspondents Lilli Kuschel + Mikko Gaestel.
