German artist LUCIE STAHL creates high-definition scans of everyday objects negotiating the passage from junky oddities into significant oddments.

STAHL arranges various found objects, ranging from magazine advertisements to scraps of wood and high-heeled shoes, powdery substances, liquids and short texts found or written by the artist and typed on white paper. These objects are placed on a scanner where they are captured two-dimensionally and then blown up to large-scale inkjet prints, which she covers with a thick coat of polyurethane and fixes to the gallery walls – unframed, like posters – in groups of four or more. – by BETTINA BRUNNER

LUCIE STAHL (1977) lives and works in Vienna. Since 2008 she runs the exhibition space Pro Choice with WILL BENEDICT. Recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Meyer Kainer, Vienna (2011), Kölnischer Kunstverein with BĚLA KOLÁŘOVÁ (2011) and Kunstverein Nürnberg (2009) and the group exhibitions Flaca, curated by TOM HUMPHREYS, Portikus, Frankfurt am Main (2011), Schrippenkönig mit p?, curated by THOMAS BAYRLE, Galerie Mezzanin, Vienna (2011), An Image, Kaleidoscope Project Space, Milan (2011). Additionally she was the recipient of the BC21 Art Award in 2011.

And good news: she will present her work in 2012 at Dependance, Brussels and at Gio Marconi, Milan. Till then you can pick her book Plakate Posters released last year by bom dia boa tarde boa noite.
