Achenbach Hagemeier presents Hacking Pandoras Box, an exhibition of recent work by Jan Pleitner, on view 3 November 2022 through 7 January 2023. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.
Incorporating 3 different bodies of work, Pleitner's Hacking Pandoras Box offers a melding of science and mystery, where utopian Futurism meets with the constructive historical praxis of the embodied world as we experience it today. As the title of the exhibition suggests, a kind of opening of awareness, a disclosure of what was originally hidden, runs through the works on view. As Pleitner wields and reflects on the impact of paint and pigment, the sensible qualities of color take on a new meaning in relation to emergent technologies which surround us on all sides.
