Sülzensaal by Pegasus Product
30. April bis 9. Juli 2022
Showroom Galerie Georg Nothelfer, Grolmanstraße 28 10623 Berlin-Charlottenburg
Galerie Georg Nothelfer is proud to present the first solo exhibition with the
artist group Pegasus Product, founded around 2018.
Pegasus Product invites you to
the Sülzensaal in our Showroom. Dine in style with the gôut du rue. Sülze means
oral communication. It is pieced together and recycled from leftovers like the
pressboard of the furniture. Eating out is culturally inscribed in such a way
that chairs may just as well be made of microwaves, tables of clothes racks and
kitchen worktops and fridges, and beer can be served from kettles. It is an
interface one knows how to operate regardless. The way a painting on the wall
is viewed depends on the context. In the restaurant, it happens sneakyl, when
hunger or social thirst is the main concern. A lot of time passes for enjoyment
and conversation while the art hangs in the corner of the eye and the seating
has taken on your own body heat, the napkin carries the leftovers, the table
has gone through a series of tableware arrangements and the Reichstag edition
is received by ingestion.
Pegasus Product is dedicated to
the broken, the open edge, the civilisational grind, creating artefacts and
props of a contemporary mythology as a lens to view one’s own existence and as
a tool to locate oneself. Industrially produced in the all-encompassing logic
of economy, the new pressboard furniture is cheaper than its material. As soon
as its insides is revealed through the broken edge, it is disposed of, along
with all the energetic charge it received through daily use, in a dark corner
where anonymity and poverty can meet. As small islands of contemporary
archaeology, these corners are like natural sources of witnesses to our
existential context. Is the urine-soaked billy shelf a secret globe bar or
house altar? Are microwaves chairs? Is the broken salt crystal lamp twice, or
only half as effective? Pegasus Product is a young, dynamic joint practice of
Dargelos Kersten, Anton Peitersen and Gernot Seeliger, who eye the generic
consumer product with envy and blatantly seek to appropriate and further
develop seemingly tried and tested products, to make the broken pressboard
presentable and paving stones experienceable as energetically healing. (Text:
