The World of Music Video

Ingo Gerken’s monographic catalogue literally opens a new chapter in his series of works, Bibliosculptures. Images of open exhibition publications or art magazines become the object of investigation here. Seemingly randomly opened book pages create a play of forces or connections between text, object, and image compositions. By depicting these views of books in the book, the medium itself is both the object and subject of analysis—typical of Gerken’s artistic practice.

INGO GERKEN (*1971) completed his studies of Fine Arts at Muthesius University in Kiel and studied Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art. He lives and works in Berlin.

Ruttkowski;68 celebrates its 10th year anniversary! As homage to his early deceased friend, DJ Sven Ruttkowski, born in 1968, Nils Müller founded the gallery in his friend’s former apartment at Bismarckstrasse 68 in Cologne, in 2010. The gallery quickly expanded in Cologne and now also has a space in Paris. Ruttkowski;68 broadens the notion of art through radical authenticity, references to subcultures, pop culture as well as art history. This book provides an insight into the most exciting exhibitions and sets a platform to tell the stories of artists, friends, and supporters of the gallery. A space that is more than just an exhibition space—a space where not only creating art, but a way of living is celebrated.

Ruttkowski;68 represents the following artists: Hendrik Beikirch, Jenny Brosinski, Asger Carlsen, Francesco Igory Deiana, Lars Eidinger, Philip Emde, Jårg Geismar, Henrik Godsk, Antwan Horfee, Mark Jenkins, Paa Joe, Conny Maier, Stefan Marx, Filippo Minelli, Christian Rex van Minnen, Joakim Ojanen, C.O. Paeffgen, Parra, Ricardo Passaporte, Frédéric Platéus, Devin Troy Strother, Stefan Strumbe, Pablo Tomek, Fabian Treiber, Henrik Vibskov, Thomas Wachholz, and Daniel Weissbach.
