When placed it’s sculptural limits beget a kind of artistic proposition — and when considered with reduced anthropomorphism and ungeologically — produce a ready-made analog to the causation and bounds of our attempts at the understanding of all things. Here the sculptor has made no concessions; no attempts to curry favor with curators or collectors — pieces wholly outside discourse. And if pressed for an affiliate movement for these “sculptures” (i.e. Cubism, Mannerism, etc.)… perhaps Monism or Cosmogonism? Definitely not Conceptualism or Pataphysics — Actualism? The analog? Well for sure it is 1:1. Weird; yes — a knot to be admired for it’s curves — not for untying. An emergent surface as thick as it’s mass.&nbsp; &nbsp; Were it possible for the instances of our minds or world events&nbsp;to be mapped and dimensionally materialized, something similar to a rock would appear — areas of smoothness yielding to pockmarked particularities, density shifts and feathered explosions. What really is the shape of a boom town? A pilgrim’s journey? A section of jungle mayhem? A boring era? The silhouette of a father’s cold slap? The contours of a brief, intense friendship? Comfortably we perceive all of these things as ready to be integrated into ledgers or novels or timelines; but really they are queer crags and striations of unimaginable idiosyncrasy. So yes, the reflective, reasonable yield of our mind has much symmetry (computation, cataloguing, narrativizing, etc.) but it’s actual shape is no shape, but unfolding chaos and singularity visible only to our particular time-scale. Our species-wide symmetries and quantizations are basically improvisations white-labeled onto directionless infinitude attempting the constant creation of navigable Dimension. So, look intimately at a rock, walk around it, get up close to it, savor it’s complexion and composition as you would any painting or temple and see it as the faultless mirror that it is — a truly perfect sculpture. ABSTRACTION AND EMPIRICAL ILLUSTRATION We live our lives made up of a great quantity of isolated instants. So as to be lost at the heart of a multitude of things.

frame, 65 x 50 cm “Postmodernism, postmodern consciousness, may then amount to not much more than theorizing its own condition of possibility, which consists primarily in the sheer enumeration of changes and modifications.” – Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism. 1991. The German saying, ‘der Schein trügt’ defines a dichotomy in which something, once revealed, defies its original impression and therefore deceives. The initial assumption of the subject/object is made based off its first impression or surface-layer (whether conceptual or aesthetic), its shell: ‘All that glitters is not gold’. In his solo exhibition Tender Offer, Marc Henry’s paintings reveal such tensions, drawing from the ever-proliferating peripheries of authenticity, inauthenticity and their mystification within our day-to-day relentless hyper capitalist machine. Revealing fragments of our strange postmodern reality, his works establish deceptive innuendos by exploring controversies in our current wellness, luxury and consumerist economy or by referencing historicised iconic cultural emblems such as the ancient relic the sphinx of Giza and Greek mythology such as Achilles. With an array of assertive steel-framed oil paintings at arm’s length, we bite the bullet and face fragments of a nuanced pastiche that reflect our idiosyncratic postmodern condition, or as critical theorist Frederic Jameson reiterates, ‘the cultural logic of late capitalism.’ [1] We are reminded of Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, in which cultural tools of representation (both virtual and physical) ‘simulate’ our lived experiences when confronted with The Sphinx and Pyramid Scheme.For the technical process behind this work, Henry uploads an image found online of The Sphinx of the Seashore (1879) by Elihu Vedder, based on the statue of the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt constructed in around 2500 BC. He then edits this image within the programme DALL-E developed by OpenAI. This artificial intelligence generates digital images from language descriptions named ‘prompts.’ Infinitely removed from its original context, the reproduced image becomes obsolete – its authenticity called into question. Yet, by transferring the final rendition onto the canvas with thick, expressionistic oil strokes and framing the work with stainless steel, Henry solidifies its mutated presence in real-time, in the here and now. Before us is its sheer haptic corporeality. In Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord condemns consumer culture by building on the critique of commodity fetishism in Marx, asserting that ‘All that once was directly lived has become mere representation.’[2] Images circulating, proliferating and flowing through time within networks of capital are constantly disseminated, reconfigured, enhanced, adapted or replaced. Within the free flow of information, images become endless amorphous mutations that dextrously foreshadow signs and symbols aimed at the consumer yet also bring into question the authenticity and power or impact of an image. Such is apparent in I Am Perpetually Haunted By a Future That Could Have Been, which depicts a mask that was initially welded and posted on a blog by an unknown welder living in eastern Europe, that was subsequently mistaken for being an authentic thirteenth-century bishop’s mask on twitter and subreddits. The image proliferated online across countless blogs and platforms until it was fallaciously historicised as it was published on multiple acclaimed history platforms on an international scale. Henry’s incorporation of photoshop and DALL-E further quantified and multiplied the initial image, with the final rendition translated into painterly form across the canvas. We are confronted with an arrangement of artificially generated masks whose eerie glitches remain captured in its expressionistic, physical, and painterly form. The original rare ivory and diamond coated Russian Fabergé eggs symbolise ‘high-end’ luxury and have been swallowed up and incorporated into mainstream culture on a multifaceted scale, stressing ‘what the commodity had already shown itself to be in the course of this conquest: a process of quantitative development.’[3] In This Interregnum a Great Variety of Morbid Symptoms Appear, captures an online image of a 2008 Alexander McQueen ‘Fabergé egg purse’ which Henry subsequently rendered, generated and multiplied using photoshop and DALL-E. A photoshopped Venezuelan poodle moth furry in its texture sits amongst the contrastingly flat and reflective concoction of AI simulated Fabergé eggs. Debord states that ‘the spectacle grasped in its totality is both the result and the project of the existing mode of production. It is not a supplement to the real world, an additional decoration. It is the heart of the unrealism of the real society. In all its specific forms, as information or propaganda, as advertisement or direct entertainment consumption, the spectacle is the present model of socially dominant life.’ Removed from its original function, the play on words of the title of the work Weapons of Mass Seduction, goes hand in hand with rendering the function of the object obsolete: Its fragile medium depicted as glass stressing its ornamental and alluring qualities. Contrasting tensions are further explored through the painterly technique that is required in order to depict the opacity of glass against the dense smoothly textured surface the object shines forth from. Tender Offer reflects on the ever-conglomerating late-capitalist machine, our place within it and asks us to engage with what is beyond the alluring surface of our day-to-day goings on. The power of the ever-mutating dissemination of the image is further pulled into question, its absurdity made apparent. In the cultural logic of the present, we are faced with an ongoing uncomfortable truth: Nothing is what it seems, everything is but a pastiche and “In a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false.”[4] Text: Sayori Radda [1] Jameson, Fredric.

“Board Meeting”, 2024, oil on linen, 24 x 20 cm Dear Marc, Sitting here in the heart of Vienna, with Munich to the west and London further along the way towards Lower Manhattan where Di Modica left his Charging Bull made of bronze on Broadway, in the image of the great golden calf those folks worshipped while daddy was up talking to God on Mount Sinai, way before there were any wolves on Wall Street. Maybe things aren’t as belligerent as they were in the 80s, maybe now they’ve got it down to a sterile science. Since coming out of the dust bowls of the 20s, there doesn’t seem to be no room for cowboys, or bulls, or bears around these carefully constructed houses of cards. I’m not exactly sure how you must feel about Arturo’s great, glorious symbol of financial optimism. But judging by these paintings, you must have learned a thing or two and made a couple of observations about some of these more contemporary financial institutions while studying money in school back in Germany or up in Sweden. Did they manage to pass on the same fatherly warnings of Hubris that Icarus ignored? What sort of instructions were given to those meant inherit the world as it stands, or rather teeters, as the credit lines max out and the divine debt collection begins to feel imminent. What were you doing, messing around, pushing pigments into canvas while you were meant to be learning about price controls and inflation; supply and demands and perfect and imperfect competition? God only knows it must be helpful to understand what a dollar’s worth and why when you’re busy giving objects value with your time, energy, and linseed oil. Your Father might have been right to push his son towards an education in economics. And I wonder which is more ruthless - the trading floors at New York stock exchange or Danny Ritchter’s class full of young folks trying make it as artists. And I wonder if it even matters. And I wonder if it’s all the same at the schools for the economists and the ones for the artists. What’s the difference anyway, between the land of boom and bust and the modern market for Bildende Kunste. You know what they say about the rising tides and all the ships and the trickle down and the credit systems invented to explore the America’s and the ones invented there in the new world.. Let me propose a toasts; to the painters and the sculptors and everybody else who’s preoccupations result in the the creation of objects that can be bought and sold on the free and open market like war bonds and cobalt and carbon credits and big fancy flats in the Vienna’s historic first district. God bless it. So here's to the bullpens and the stretched linen, to the bear markets and the bold colors, and to finding value in the valueless, making sense of the senseless. It's all some sort of game anyway, and maybe that's the point – not to win, but to play, to participate in the good ol’ act of creation, whether it's with a brush or a banknote. Looking forward to that bottle, who knows, maybe by the end of the night, we’ll have made heads or tails of the great casinos that have been built up on foundations of those magic little pocket-sized plastic pieces that seem to hold it all together at the moment, or at least have had enough wine to believe we have.

2024, oil on linen, 65 x 80 cm Marc Henry's visual worlds draw from image databases of the internet's depths and the artist's own photographs. Using various software, he layers, merges, and isolates parts of his findings, creating entirely surreal and almost eerie scenes, which serve as templates for his works. Painting on coarse linen allows him a partial loss of control over the application of oil, distancing both himself and the viewers from the subject and emphasising the works symbolic&nbsp; &nbsp; content. The visual worlds created can be understood as a collective fiction, a hallucinatory space, entailing a&nbsp;&nbsp;self-reflection of the very act of painting itself. The content of Henry’s works primarily investigates emotions. The search for truth and meaning in life, as well as growing uncertainty amongst the younger generation, is present in many of his works. His work is to be understood not so much as a critique, but rather as a space for resonance. Here, painting evolves from the tradition of confident statements and rather offers reflection on specific ideas and emotions. In this series, forest depictions appear for the first time in Henry’s oeuvre. The forest suggests the limited perspective of humans and connects the desire for belonging with the Romantic pursuit of universal knowledge in the early 19th century. This connection ultimately leads to the realisation that the drive for self-elevation, especially in our post-factual society, can lead to missteps. The series evolves from landscape views to interiors, where the artificiality of office spaces ("office-core") meets the emotional topography of film noir. At the same time, the perspective shifts from&nbsp; &nbsp; societal analysis to introspection. The role of the individual, particularly that of the artist within social structures, moves to the foreground. The Elevator (Dream Sequence) depicts a herd of sheep as a symbol of conformist group behaviour. The animals appear out of place, as if artificially inserted into their environment. One of the sheep has a seemingly human face, which feels distorted and unnatural, possibly generated by AI, and it appears to be the one most likely to resist the machinery of homogenising modern life. Underlying all of this is the concept of "play pretend” — a childlike behaviour in which we adapt to what we see around us, not because it aligns with our true selves but to mimic our environment. In this sense, the interior scenes in Henry's works, serving as symbols of the unnatural and imposed, can also be understood as deeply human survival strategies of individuals in the Capitalocene. Paintings like Skeptics Expect More Muted Growth I combine the capitalist machinery with the domestication of nature. The title refers to an oxymoron of stock market jargon, while the image depicts a cypress tree as tamed nature in a museum display case. The blending of nature and office life recalls the absurd world of Jacques Tati's film Playtime as well as the landscape paintings of the Nabis artists like Pierre Bonnard, Paul Sérusier, or Félix Vallotton. Through the interplay of precision and indifference, Henry generates a unique visual language that skilfully addresses fundamental questions about &nbsp;humanity and society through its dreamlike absurdity.

Anton Janizewski refers to Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, first published in 1899.The American economist describes here the mechanism of conspicuous consumption, in which luxury goods function as markers of social distinction. Clothing, architecture, and art – all serve as visible codes of separation for the “leisure class”. Henry’s paintings take up these codes and translate them into pictorial spaces that appear familiar yet verge on the surreal. Elegant interiors, modernist buildings, or burning architectural models provide the setting. Figures inhabit these spaces like stage characters – more archetypes than individuals – their rigid gazes recalling Edward Hopper. Some scenes resemble snapshots of everyday familiarity, while others are charged with subtle tension: figures wear glasses or leather gloves that create a sense of distance, and artificial lighting heightens the impression of theatrical staging. Central to Henry’s work is the play between model and reality. He constructs digital collages from an archive of photographs, architectural fragments, private snapshots, and found footage from the internet. The architectures are composed of mid-century motifs – glass facades, open floor plans, design classics – which establish familiar codes without making direct references. Printed in A3 format, these collages serve as templates in which scenarios are tested and arranged in advance. Transferred onto canvas layer by layer – on coarse linen whose texture imposes a certain loss of control, reminiscent of the grain of analog film. Figures take on a peculiar rigidity, and the paintings resemble stills. The works appear staged – and they are meant to. In The Architects II, for instance, two figures lie beside a burning model, the tragedy of a prestige project condensed into a single scene. This is intensified by a cinematic light, at times almost Lynchian. Yet on closer inspection, the light betrays the illusion: shadows fall unnaturally, spaces are overexposed – an effect that makes them appear like dream sequences. The series reflects on painting itself – its role as a medium of representation, power, and wealth – while at the same time responding to the fleeting image flows of the digital world from which Henry draws. Elements of 1960s style blend with contemporary details, making the scenes hard to pin down in time and deliberately staged, leaving an undercurrent of unease. In this tension between the shiny layers of oil paint and the fleeting nature of digital loops, painting reads as a metaphor for Veblen’s theory of „conspicuous consumption“. As Mark Fisher observed, in late capitalism critique can hardly detach itself from the very structures it criticizes. Theory of the Fine People makes this contradiction visible: it is never quite clear whether one is looking at the model or already at the building itself. And perhaps it is for that very reason that, eventually, it all goes up in flames.

Kunstverein is pleased to present Somnium, the first institutional solo exhibition by artist Marc Henry. The exhibition’s title, Somnium (Latin for ‘dream’), is taken from the book of the same name by astronomer Johannes Kepler, written in 1609 and published posthumously in 1634. Somniumis considered one of the most influential and earliest works of scientific fiction, which continues to inspire scientific, literary, and visual motifs to this day: Kepler incorporated radical astronomical discoveries—particularly the Copernican worldview—into a fictional framework to make them conceivable, discussable, and socially acceptable. Fiction thus functions as an instrument of knowledge, but it can also become a target for misunderstanding, projection, and suspicion. This ambivalence became a biographical reality for Kepler when his mother, Katharina Kepler, was accused of witchcraft amid a climate of superstition and rumors. In Somnium, Johannes Kepler describes a fictional lunar civilization in the form of a dream journey. With the help of spirits and demons, people travel to the Moon in the umbra of a solar eclipse. The text provides a genuinely scientific account of weightlessness and climatic conditions—particularly the extreme differences between day and night—a full 360 years before the first humans set foot on the Moon. It is precisely this intertwining of fantastical and real elements in the text that is symbolically reflected in the visual themes of Marc Henry, which are presented in the exhibition at the Kunstverein. The exhibition transposes this historical constellation into the present. In today’s media ecosystems, hybrid narrative forms are also emerging in which facts, speculation, emotion, and image production are inextricably intertwined. The image does not claim to be the truth, but rather reflects its own manipulative power. Marc Henry’s artistic practice is characterized by an interest in narrative and composition, which is fueled by visual themes drawn from his personal archive of analog and digitally edited reference collages, his own photographs, and 3D rendering programs. In a dialogue between the digital and analog realms, the artist often returns to the digital file after his initial work on canvas. In this process, he alters the colors, adjusts the compositions, and integrates new discoveries from the painting back into the digital world. This rhythmic interplay continues until a pseudo-narrative emerges that is imbued with memories of reality but, in the terms of Jean Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality, no longer reveals any references. In the first exhibition room, there is a centrally located, atmospheric screening installation: two shiny metallic mechanical prism rotators—of the kind commonly used in advertising—display, in endless loops, film works that were each generated from three painted frames. The individual paintings on canvas. titled&nbsp; And So The Infinite Process Is Set In Motion I and II, are mounted on the respective panels and allude to the 1922 Swedish silent film Häxan (Swedish for ‘Witches’) by Danish director Benjamin Christensen, which, in a blend of fiction and documentary, explores the theme of the witch hunts through fantastical, even expressionistic imagery. Because the rotors spin asynchronously, a constantly shimmering soundscape emerges—a rhythmic clicking, whirring, and flapping that fills and structures the space. The sounds merge with the constantly shifting image sequences to create an almost hypnotic backdrop; the mechanically generated loop of images and sound transforms Henry’s interest in artificial theatricality, digital transience, and subtle unease into an immersive, physically tangible form. The spatial composition is complemented by a large-format painting. On the upper floor, the space below is contrasted by a tranquil retreat. In the subdued light, pointed-arch paintings are set into the window niches, their form reminiscent of church and chapel windows; their frames and displays are crafted from nickel-plated stainless steel, and through the shimmering materiality in shades of gold and silver, they evoke the tech-futurism of space travel in the spirit of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, always—including in their motifs — drawing on Kepler’s imagined journey to the moon, its reception in media history, and related theoretical visual symbolism and narratives. In contrast, five round tondi paintings on wood, resembling crescent moons or sky discs, correspond to this. Furthermore, the visual motifs in both series deliberately engage with art-historical references, even if these do not always seem clearly identifiable: for example, in a painting on a round arch, Goya and Galluzzo serve as equally distant models for Henry’s depiction of a figure—well-read and cultured—vanishing toward the moon, spreading the wings of a cloak from the study, yet also deliberately evoking a theatrical stage performance rather than a genuine journey to the moon—a fantastical journey, a journey of the imagination? The circular painting Keplers Traum, by contrast, places Kepler himself in the picture; the author and scientist is deeply asleep, an approaching solar eclipse casts its shadow on the scholar’s bed—beware, the moon demons are approaching, and the narrative, as described in the Somnium, takes its course. In another tondo, Henry combines Kepler’s cosmological theory from the Mysterium Cosmographicum with the development of the Kepler telescope. And Kepler’s mother, too, is depicted in her own biography in Katharinas Anklage. In this way, Henry weaves a pictorial cosmos in his paintings that, while finding its origin in Somnium, branches out like a delta, meandering through motifs, positing hypotheses, and developing stories. By subtly integrating the paintings into the existing architecture, the exhibition creates a space for reflection on how we engage with speculative knowledge in an age saturated with media. The room is further broken up by the two sculptures Nachtmahr I and II that extract individual figures from the paintings, translate them into three dimensions, and thereby thematically blur the boundary between fantasy and reality—a first for Henry, who is thus further expanding his artistic practice to include the medium of sculpture. <img width="4724" height="3543" width_o="4724"
