Lutz Bacher
Burning the Days
Burning the Days offers an expansive view of conceptual artist Lutz Bacher’s provocative, genre-defying oeuvre that exists across a wide range of found materials. Moving between affect and sentiment, humor, and pop-cultural touchstones, the exhibition turns to unflinching examinations of sexuality, violence, political paranoia, and cosmic metaphysics.
