Research into language and communication, as well as the examination of interpersonal relationships, form a substantial point of departure in the work of the artist Uri Aran, who was born in Jerusalem in 1977 and now lives in New York. However, the Israeli’s works are in no way to be confused with scientific studies; they can instead be related to poetic or philosophical thought experiments that have found expression in the form of installations, sculptures, drawings and films. Through a selection of films, the presentation in the Kölnischer Kunstverein will provide the first presentation of Aran’s work to a broader public in Germany.
