Poxy Proxy

Galerie Noah Klink is pleased to present _Poxy Proxy_ a duo exhibition by Josefine Reisch and Miriam Umiń. Comprising works across painting, installation and sculpture, the exhibition thinks through psychological projection and desire, appropriating symbols of representation found in popular and design cultures. Gestures of obstruction, severance, and scale are used as destabilising display methods affording space to navigate the underlying desires held within these symbols and their visual proliferation. In search of embedding a sense of containment, the gallery floor has been covered with the milk carton paper used in shipping and mainstream consumer products. Josefine Reisch's work is characterized by a constant questioning of a popularized cultural heritage. Through the dichotomy of narratives and objects, she encourages us to reevaluate. Josefine‘s life-size depictions play on painting's capacity to transform narratives into a state that feels like déjà-vu and the unknown at the same time. Miriam Umiń is an artist based between Berlin and New Brunswick. Her work is concerned with the infrastructural and systemic conditions through which objects are produced, branded, and made to circulate.
