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.”
