In his exhibition <em>Deep Time<\/em>, shown over five months at St. Matth&auml;us, which is part of the Kulturforum Berlin, he expanded the concept of time into deep time, shifting perspective to a world without us, to a time before humankind existed, and transforming fundamental questions of meaning into expanded fields of perception and spaces for contemplation.<\/p>\n<p>Authors Verena Auffermann, Hannes Langbein, Bernd Scherer, and Rudolf Zwirner explore the artist&rsquo;s most recent work <em>Deep Time<\/em>. They reflect upon his artistic dialogue with forms of life and the threats they are facing against the backdrop of a looming existential crisis for our civilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Mattner&#8217;s drawings, paintings, and sculptures develop in the transitions between light and dark. He has been influenced by the iconicity of Malevich and the light-dynamics of Moholoy-Nagy, post-revolutionary constructivism, the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, and the simple means of Arte Povera. In his art, Mattner has created a singular free space of a continuing avant-garde. Pontus Hult&eacute;n has written that Mattner&rsquo;s work is marked by the mystery of perspective, explored and elevated by the means of light. For the project <em>Gazing at the Sun<\/em>, Mattner cooperated for two years with astrophysicists from the Einstein Tower in Potsdam and showed the overlapping of art and science in several museums exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and German.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entropy and Hope explores Jakob Mattner&rsquo;s most recent work and questions which perspective we might take in light of current world events.
