The Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to present Diabolus in Musica, the first exhibition of works by Oliver Beer at our gallery and our second collaboration with him after the performance Composition for Hearing an Architectural Space, in October 2013.

Oliver Beer’s exhibition will be exploring people’s ability to imbue objects and phenomena with an emotional, poetic or simply narrative charge, through the power of the imagination. This human tendency will be given partial form in an architectural acoustic installation based on a famous mythical chord, which in musical theory is called the tritone.
The exhibition is also presenting Reanimation I (Snow White), which was recently (spring 2014) previewed as part of the Prospectif Cinema programme at the Centre Pompidou. It is a film which, along with several sculptures and installations, translates into disturbing artistic language Beer’s investigation of the tools traditionally used for identifying what people often seek to define as real.
