Ed Atkins is one of the most distinctive and important artists of his generation. Following on from major exhibitions at The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Serpentine in London, Castello di Rivoli in Turin, and the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, among others, Kunsthaus Bregenz presents Atkins\u2019 first exhibition in Austria, and his largest solo presentation to date. Atkins is an artist who makes videos, writes and draws, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world \u2014 from computer generated imagery (CGI) to bathetic poetry \u2014 are hysterically rehearsed. Atkins\u2019 works often centres on an unidentified figure, a kind of surrogate for the artist, who is animated by Atkins\u2019 own performance. The figure is to be found in situations of everyday despair, anxiety, frustration and pitch comedy. Atkins\u2019 works<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
