Juxtapoz Journal – Asgar/Gabriel: Ignore the mess however do not take off your footwear @ Ernst Hilger Gallery, Vienna

We acquired in contact with our pals Asgar/Gabriel this week as they opened a brand new solo present, Ignore the mess however do not take off your footwear on view Ernst Hilger Gallery, Vienna. The duo of Daryoush Asgar & Elisabeth Gabriel, born 1975 in Teheran and Vienna, respectively, work the illusionary house is permeable and stuffed with optical traps within the superimposition of quite a lot of pop-cultural components. The hybrid creatures that populate it condense into transhumanist portraits. Asgar/Gabriel’s crucial, generally hilarious examination of art-historically entrenched visible and narrative hierarchies borrows as a lot from the post-impressionist motion of Intimism because it does from Publish-Web Artwork.
