Brendan Cass paints landscapes that owe nothing to the exactitude of a topographical survey or a concern for the picturesque, in that their sources are documents, generally low-quality images from reviews, maps, publicity leaflets, postcards – in this case, a Korean calendar – or the Internet.

A central theme of the exhibition is found in the artist’s particular insistence on the relevance of grand narratives. Kiefer uses myths that to a considerable extent absorb classical material, but which must be called both the myths of the age and his own myths. Postulating the fundamental meaning of the mythical material for mankind, as Kiefer does, puts his work and thus the exhibition on a course towards dialogue with received opinion today.
