Barbara Herold and Florian Huth – Real World Assets
© Barbara Herold und Florian Huth
Since 2013, artistic duo Barbara Herold and Florian Huth have been exploring tensions and conflicts between the natural and the artificial. Their work asks questions about the concepts of authenticity, simulation and fakeness in an increasingly digital, post-natural world. This exhibition at the CAS showcases graphical pieces from their Real World Assets series. Drawing on surveying and inventory procedures, the two combine documentary precision with an experimental visual idiom to sound out the boundaries between scientific observation and artistic interpretation.
Barbara Herold studied media art under Ulrike Rosenbach and Tamás Waliczky at HBKsaar in Saarbrücken. Florian Huth is a photographer who studied under Olaf Metzel at the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The duo live and work in the Bavarian capital.
Professor Heiner Igel, Professor of Seismology at LMU, will give the welcome address at the vernissage on 15 May. Igel conducts research into the seismic waves caused by earthquakes and other processes.
This exhibition is supported by the “Verbindungslinien” (Connecting Lines) program run by the Bavarian Association of Visual Artists with funds from the Bavarian Ministry of Science and the Arts.
Since 2008 changing exhibitions take place on the premises of the Center for Advanced Studies in cooperation with the LMU UniversityGallery.
Visitors to the exhibition are required to register in advance. For more information, please visit the CAS website.
The Center for Advanced Studies at LMU provides a forum for scientific exchange and discussion that bridges the divide between the established disciplines. Its activities are designed to promote all forms of collaborative research and to stimulate interdisciplinary communication within the University. In addition, it facilitates the integration of visiting scholars and scientists into the academic life of the University.
