ART NOW

JUERGEN TELLER

2021.10.27

At Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve, Paris

A new exhibition in Paris shows how Juergen Teller’s practice has shifted into a new era of close collaboration with his wife Dovile Drizyte, yet his style remains as distinctive now as it was thirty years ago.

Produced within the last two years Auguri, translated as ‘Congratulations’ or ‘Best wishes’ is Juergen Teller’s new solo exhibition at Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve in Paris. The centre piece of the show is the recent project, We are Building our Future Together (2021) which features Juergen and his wife Dovile Drizyte, clad in high visibility work wear, pictured in construction sites in Venice and Napoli, where they got married this summer.
The viewer is invited to witness their performative and suggestive interventions with the surrounding paraphernalia – the road signs, pipes, drills, saws and machinery, producing a comic narrative that is symbolic of their fruitful and trusting relationship. Candid photographs of the wedding ceremony itself are interwoven into this editioned mixed-media art installation, creating a unique and engaging celebration of their marriage. Teller’s practice has shifted into a new era of close collaboration with his wife, yet his style remains as distinctive now as it was thirty years ago – making honest work about the world he encounters.
