Stefan Reiterer
Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst, Otterndorf, Germany
10 May – 10 August 2025
The Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst, founded in 1974 in Otterndorf, northern Germany, is one of the country’s oldest institutions dedicated solely to abstract art after 1945. With its focus on colour, light, line, material and perspective, it encourages an examination of unusual artistic positions and promotes a conscious, sensual perception of the present. In May 2025, artist Stefan Reiterer will present a series of monumental site-specific installations that merge with the museum's floors, walls and ceilings, distorting spatial perception and inviting visitors to consider the relevance of abstract art in the digital age.
Stefan Reiterer (born 1988 in Waidhofen an der Thaya, Austria) studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. His work harnesses techniques of computer animation to question whether figurative images can ever represent an objective, ‘true’ reality, using representations of landscapes such as maps and digital satellite images, and their abstractions. Working at the intersection of analogue and digital, Reiterer’s work oscillates between painting and sculpture, clarity and amiguity. He has exhibited internationally in London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Prague, Berlin and Porto.
This is the artist’s first collaboration with Phileas.
