As a follow-up of his notorious "Clone International" series presented in Guguletu, Cape Town, New York and Hamburg in 2005, blank projects is pleased to announce Swiss artist Kerim Seiler's latest exhibition - "Creature Comfort". The exhibition continues through March 22, 2006 and is supported by ProHelvetia, Arts Council of Switzerland. Kerim Seiler was born in 1974 and has exhibited accross Europe as well as in New York and Cairo.

Inspired by some remarkable South African fauna, Seiler proposes a group of ridiculous offspring reminiscent of the inbreeding inherent to South African game-culture. The title "Creature Comfort" does not reflect on South Africa specifically but rather on the recent global phenomenon of denaturalisation. Seiler's exhibit scrabbles through questions of platonic idealism versus the contemporary traveller’s creature comforts and enhanced iconography. You'll adore his playful sculptures.
