2-TIMES  Art
Asta Gröting,
Not feeling too
cheerful: reclining
figures, facades
and more

@ carlier | gebauer
— 

Inverting the 
lexicon of 
monumental 
sculpture to draw 
our attention 
to absence, and 
the physical & 
emotional rifts 
between people 
and things’. 

Born: 
1961 – Herford, Germany. 

The exhibition:
 
Is the Berlin-based
artist's fifth solo with 
carlier | gebauer in
Germany, addressing
questions of vulnerability,
injury, and repression
through three new
work cycles, as well
as selected earlier
works. 

Her ongoing 
engagement with 
gaps, interior spaces, 
and inner organs 
questions the social 
body by taking 
something away 
from it and, in the 
words of writer 
Deborah Levy, 
“allows this absence 
to do the talking.”’
