Exhibition Debris by Christoph Draeger

by para_SITE Gallery

Opening: June 4th 2010 von 7.00 - 10.00 p.m.
Duration: June 5th - July 16th 2010
Finissage: July 17th 2010 11.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m. We would like to cordially invite you to our next opening of the exhibition "Debris" by New York-based Swiss artist Christoph Draeger on 4th May 2010 at 7.00 p.m. at para_SITE Gallery in Graz, Austria.

The exhibition is titled "Debris", a word that depicts for the artist as much actual fragments of destroyed material as much as fragments of memory and meaning.

The gallery will be transformed into a state of carefully constructed, stylized destruction. Parts of a DC-9 passenger plane, crashed in 1981 in Corsica, and collected by the artist during several expeditions to a mountain top, will be superimposed with the splintered fragments of a destroyed museum floor – recovered at the nearby Universal Museum Joanneum, currently under renovation. For further information check out the TXT file on the right hand side. Download the invitation card as PDF here: http://parasite-net.eu/_img/blogpdf/n_20100602_195503.pdf

On the occassion of the exhibition we will produce an artist portrait in the framework of our interview series para_SITE TV which will be accessible through our website. Web: http://www.parasite-net.eu/TV

We are looking forward to your visit and send all the best wishes until then
