On the occasion of
the Gallery Weekend Berlin, Delmes & Zander presents works by
Cologne-born artists Horst Ademeit
(1937-2010). Discovered by the gallery in 2008,
Ademeit obsessively devoted close to 40 years
of his life to collecting information –
through photography and meticulous note-keeping – that would
establish the existence of what he called “cold rays,” unseen
forces that he believed severely impaired and impacted upon his life
and surroundings. Developing a complex, at
times quasi-scientific system of reference with precise facts and
dates he recorded, Ademeit's photographic documentation portrays the
threats and mysteries of everyday life.
Trapped in a Kafkaesque world, Ademeit
created structures of order for himself in an attempt to make sense
of an otherwise all-consuming presentiment.
Horst
Ademeit's works have been shown solo at White Columns (New York,
2010)
and the
Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin, 2011), as well as in a group at the
Biennale Sao Paulo (2012), David Zwirner (System
and Vision,
New York, 2015) and at the Serralves Foundation (Under
the Clouds,
curated by João
Ribas, Porto, 2015).
Delmes &
Zander administrate the Ademeit estate since 2010.
