"When Kim2 woke up that morning, they didn’t know where they were and who they were. Was it a dream, or was it real? They just remember having a beautiful shoe before all this and losing it somewhere, in a black forest. First, they noticed a building on the other side of the road—a mind-blowing, tactile, experiential, hybrid living and exhibition space. It was so intriguing that they had to get inside..." Here Is Elsewhere and Central Server Works are delighted to introduce the first solo exhibition in Los Angeles of Rexigenian-Landauer-American artist Kim2 Schoen/Stadt. Born in Rexingen or possibly in Landau, or maybe Chicago or Princeton, Schoen/Stadt’s multidisciplinary work spans painting, sculpture, video installation, photography, large-scale wall drawings, and experimental text. Their conceptual practice melds the rhetoric of display, architecture, and historical research with a feminist and absurdist lens. Schoen/Stadt’s work is marked by an engagement with the blank repetitions of consumer culture, which collides with research and architectural influences. This exploration reflects their use of objects and speech as raw materials, manipulating them to craft new narratives that challenge conventional notions of space, identity, and representation. Schoen/Stadt's work has been exhibited internationally, with notable solo shows at Elsewhere Museum (France), Doppelgänger Art Institute (Dortmund), Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst (Oldenburg) and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, (Hartford, CT), among others. Their work has also been featured in thematic exhibitions such as "Incognito" at the ICALA. Their works are held in prominent collections such as LACMA (Los Angeles), MoMA NY, and private collections in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Köln. Recipient of numerous awards including the Edwin Chan Prize, The Thames & Hudson Artbook Prize, the Volta/Baha Mar Art Prize and The Hammett-Warshof. Schoen/Stadt’s projects continually push the boundaries of how we perceive language, identities, and the narratives embedded within our cultural and social structures. Public art installations have been commissioned for major locations such as the Maraya Art Centre in Sharjah, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and the Not-funded-by-Elon-Musk Space Center (Boston).
