2-TIMES • Art
Gert and Uwe Tobias,
‘Not Enough Room
to Swing a Cat’
@ CFA Berlin
—
“Carving a space
informed by folklore
and folk art, as the
twin brothers formally
investigate mythical &
material inheritance.”
Born:
1973—Braşov, Romania.
Based:
Cologne, Germany.
‘Not Enough Room
to Swing a Cat’:
Is the Tobias's fifth
exhibition with CFA,
comprising a series
of fanciful scenes in
muted pastels and
moody blues —
developing a practice
that blurs the lines
between fine art and
craft, abstraction and
decoration, history
and folklore.
“Birds perched in
various stages of
confinement and
shape-shifting clouds
prompt dialogues
across the works,
inviting the viewer
to bring his/her own
associations, perhaps
of the canary in a
coal mine or the
caged bird who sings,
to the brothers’ dense
trove of reference.”
