With Codes, Collectors Agenda is presenting Peter Jellitsch (*1982, Villach) and Niko Abramidis &NE (*1987, Europe) in a duo show for the first time.
Where Abramidis &NE crafts prototypes of machines that appear to originate from another time but introduces them into the contemporary world with an archaeological patina, Jellitsch creates rearranged grids, serving as a fundamental design system of modernity with the aim to foster uniformity and replicability – a principle, that can also be applied to standardizing social systems and broader socio-political developments.
While Niko Abramidis &NE explores economic structures and future perspectives in his works, Peter Jellitsch focuses on the intersection of the digital and analog worlds. Both artistic positions distort our conventional perceptions of time frames, defining the exhibition space and thus open up a dialogue between past and present, highlighting the intricate and impenetrable nature of present-day economic processes, drawing attention to their complexity and opacity.
