Description
Gefragt, woran er zurzeit arbeite, erwiderte Günther Förg, er male nur für sich, an "nichts besonderem". Seine beiläufige Antwort mit all ihrer Untertreibung lieferte den Titel für die Eröffnungsausstellung der Friedrichs Foundation. "Nothing in particular" ist eine augenzwinkernde Verbeugung vor Günther Förg, dessen Werk der Stiftung eng verbunden ist, und zugleich der Auftakt des kommenden Ausstellungsprogramms, das ausdrücklich junge Künstlerinnen und Künstler wie Madeleine Boschan, Beth Letain und Stefan Müller in Weidingen fördern und vorstellen wird.
Asked on what he was currently working, Günther Förg replied he was only painting for himself, on "nothing in particular." This casual answer with all its understatement gave the title for the inaugrual exhibition of the Friedrichs Foundation. "Nothing in particular" is both a tongue-in-cheek bow to Günther Förg, whose work and memory is very close to the foundation, and the prelude to the upcoming exhibition program, which will expressly promote and present young artists like Madeleine Boschan, Beth Letain and Stefan Müller in Weidingen.
