Jens Pfeifer | Beyond Transparency

Jens Pfeifer, tutor at finished Temporary Programme Materialisation in Art and Design (2015–2017) presents documentation from the exhibition Beyond Transparency at Lumen Travo Gallery, Amsterdam, on his website.

The fantastic creatures populating the drawings, metal reliefs, glass and resin sculptures of Jens Pfeifer are at play in that dim area where nature and culture cross and are inextricably intertwined. By showing that which does not let itself be placed at a distance while always escaping our rationalizing efforts, the work does away with the modern misconception that people and their cultures exist outside of nature. Rejecting the objective and analytic gaze of scientific reason it favours a vision, which recognizes our dependence as part of an interrelating chain of connections with the world surrounding us. - Alice Smits
