DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM is pleased to announce our third solo show in Berlin of Simon Mullan, featuring a sculptural environment in the main gallery. Titled SPACERS, the exhibition consists of a construction of fifty-eight wall-mounted hand-carved stone crosses, specifically sized and spaced on the four walls of the room. The grids and the negative spaces they define are an enlarged representation of standard-issue bathroom tiles. The stone reliefs hover over a deep blue wall-to-wall carpet, a reference to a 90s industrial trade fair setting as a symbolic space of economic opportunity. Additional sculptural and video works in the show highlight the labor history of the artist’s current studio on the premises of the former Baustoffe Stolpe GmbH.
