Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi (Berlin) and Galerie Micheline Scwajcer (Brussels) showed work by Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys at Expo Chicago 2015.
The two artists met in 1987 as "disgruntled film students." My eyes honestly crossed as I tried to read about their art and exploits on the gallery sites.
Here is an example (not about these pieces)--"The refraction of psychological states through physical spaces almost becomes the literal subject of a subsequent series of videos that form a kind of triptych: Ten Weyngaert (In the Vineyard, 2007), Der Schlamm Von Branst (The Clay from Branst) and The Frigate (both 2008), all of which – in one way or another – question the therapeutic value of art by exploring different places in which it lives."
I am a simple man. My 18 year old son thought these human-sized pieces looked like over-sized voodoo dolls. That seems like as good an analysis as any I could come up with (I actually thought they looked like zombies). I am sure there is a more complicated explanation.
