max goelitz’s booth concept for Art Düsseldorf 2024 establishes a dialogue between current works by Rindon Johnson, Lou Jaworski and Haroon Mirza within an installation concept by Troika. The booth is immersed in a salt landscape, accessible via grating walkways. These lead from the common fair ground of Areal Böhler and our present time into a futuristic inorganic era, where the artists' works are thematically situated.

In their paintings, sculptures and expansive installations, Troika explore the interactions between analog and digital realities. At the center of their interest are experiences and knowledge gained through technology and the ways in which it transforms humanity's relationship to nature, society and reality globally. The works of Haroon Mirza and Lou Jaworski are also characterized by technologized materials and designs, which in turn develop a mystical component and take up pop-cultural references. Mirza combines spiritual rituals with electronic circuits, blending contrasting correlations. Meanwhile, Jaworski explores perception mechanisms of ephemeral cloud formations using UV prints on semi-transparent meshes.
Rindon Johnson, on the other hand, examines the effects of capitalism, climate and technology on how we see and construct our personal realities. As a multidisciplinary artist and author, he moves through physical and virtual spaces and explores how language shapes our perception.

  • Rindon Johnson

    Rindon Johnson

    Rindon Johnson (*1990 on the unceded territories of the Ohlone people) is a multidisciplinary artist and author whose works are rooted in language. Moving between physical and virtual space Johnson explores how language shapes our reality, through failure, contradiction and power. Text is only one of the numerous media that the artist appropriates and assembles into new combinations, using naming to raise questions of autonomy and value. Johnson examines the effects of capitalism, climate and technology on how we see and construct our personal realities. By combining word, technology and object, the artist creates multi-layered works. His forms of expression range from publishing, virtual and augmented reality to working with materials such as leather, wood and stone.

  • Lou Jaworski

    Lou Jaworski

    Lou Jaworski (*1981 in Warsaw, PL) follows a post-minimalist approach with a reduced visual language in his sculptures, installations, and prints. By using metaphorically or physically charged materials such as marble, ferrite magnets, graphite, and meteorites, he achieves a timeless and universal level in his work. For some of his works, Jaworski uses hardware from server racks as architectural structures to explore the potential of material memory and storage. The strong haptic presence of the chosen materials often evokes both mystical and digital references to grids and 3D renderings. Interested in metaphysical questions, pictorial traditions, and phenomena of human perception, Jaworski's conceptual works are characterized by the interplay of material autonomy, ephemeral abstraction, and physical laws, which he implements in a space-specific manner. The artist understands his works to be amplifiers of architectural elements and material properties, as well as trains of thought and energies, which combine to form expansive installations.

    Haroon Mirza

    British-Pakistani artist Haroon Mirza (*1977 in London, UK) works with the medium of electricity to create multi-sensory works with sound and video. His immersive installations explore the interplay and interference of audio-visual signals, sound, and light, challenging viewers to reexperience the relationship between each component and the surrounding space. He often uses solar panels as image carriers or in complex circuit systems that power themselves. In these dynamic systems, he combines references to technology and nature, spiritual practices and club culture with socio-political issues. With a highly collaborative approach, the artist questions the categorization of artistic forms of expression, drawing on diverse scientific, historical, pop cultural, art historical, and ritual influences. Haroon Mirza is a co-founder of the London-based record label Outputs, which collaborates with musicians and visual artists on interdisciplinary projects.

    Troika

    Troika is a contemporary art group founded in 2003 by Eva Rucki (*1976, Germany), Conny Freyer (*1976, Germany), and Sebastien Noel (*1977, France). The artists live and work in London, UK. The collective’s paintings, sculptures, films, and large-scale installations contemplate on the intersections between analog and digital realities. At the center of their interest are humanity‘s experiences and knowledge gained through technology and how these transform our understanding and relationships to nature, society, and reality. Troika’s collaborative approach is usually based on in-depth scientific research in the fields of natural philosophy and the history of technology. Their work incorporates complex questions about artificial intelligence, algorithmic data, alternative forms of life, and virtual and physical representation systems.
