Manor Grunewald
Lives and works in Ghent, Belgium.
Manors' work encompasses the genres of painting, sculpture and installation. The focus of his work is on prints in the broadest sense: with regard to the image, the material and the technical processes applied. Aspects of archiving, installation and the resulting references to the surrounding space can also be found in his work.
In the work of Manor Grunewald images become self-reflexive entities referring to the techniques through which they are generated, as well as to the situations in which they are perceived. Grunewald’s work is processual, turning the procedures in which it is made into the message it conveys. Recasting its outer conditions as its inner matrix, Grunewald’s work represents the technological flow of images our world is governed by. It highlights and deconstructs the movement of images through systems of communication; their ceaseless circulation between appearance and disappearance, materialization and dissolution.
