"Tobias Rehberger: Landscape Garden Sculpture"
2000-07-01 until 2000-09-10
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago
Chicago, IL,
USA
Tobias Rehberger will create a work for
the MCA that will transform the front
plaza and interior public spaces of the
museum into a sculptural garden
installation, covering the space with a
dynamically designed arrangement of
various types of vegetation. The project
will be one of the first and most
ambitious American presentations of this
emerging German artist. Rehberger is
best known for creating installations and
sculptures that become integrated
environments, simultaneously existing as
art and as more traditional functional
spaces or objects.
Tobias Rehberger has had solo exhibitions at such prestigious institutions as the
Kunsthalle Basel and the Moderna Museet, Stockholm in 1998, and at the Portikus,
Frankfurt and the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Köln in 1996. He has shown in numerous
group exhibitions including Manifesta 2, Luxembourg (1998); Future-Present-Past at
the 47th Biennale di Venezia (1997); Skulptur Projekte Munster (1997); Truce: Echoes
of Art in an Age of Endless Conclusions at Site Santa Fe (1997); and Rooms with a
View at the Guggenheim Museum SoHo (1997).
