Gelitin - Profile

Gelitin have time and again been misunderstood "as the Bad Good Boys of the international art scene" (Eckhard Schneider). They have earned this reputation with actions and dadaist-anarchic installations that test limits: the Weltwunder at Expo 2000, The B Thing (balcony at the world trade center), the Arc de Triomphe, or the giant knit rabbit in the Piedmont. In their first Swiss solo exhibition in five years, the artists will show a project on which they have experimented for some time. Now that we have had time to miss what we have seen there, gelitin gives us the Kackabet. It is well known that the body plays an important role in the work of gelitin - installations such as Schlund, Flaschomat, or Mudplex have put he body at the center of their work or even made it a part of it - and works such as the urine-stalactite sculpture Zapf de Pipi at the Moscow Biennial 2005 have already shown how bodily excretions can be formed into art, whereby participation is often as important as the result. With the Kackabet, gelitin have created a font that is capable of lending expression to their sensibilities in terms of both aesthetics and content. This analphabet is a symbol that brings the abstraction of language within the field of experience of the body, which is in turn implicated in what is being communicated. In their artist statement gelitin tells of a reconciliation of the body and its excretions. (Source: Galerie Nicola von Senger, Zürich)
