Fuzzy Logic – A series of sculptures in the exhibition Positionen 09

As with all of Broeg’s practice, this work presents a central investigation of diverse technologies, reconsidering both ideological and qualitative values (hand-made, machine-made, aura, perfection, expression and freedom). Fuzzy Logic Series is the result of Broeg’s interest in negotiating a relevancy of a contemporary painting practice. Investigating and deconstructing masterpieces from the history of painting, he formulates paintings of completely new meanings, applying a combination of conceptual and process driven techniques. Earlier works were hand silkscreened on primed canvas. Later works from the series were digital ink-jet prints on pre-primed canvas thus questioning their status as painting. Also there were graphic works belonging to this series using digital UV-print on glass and mirror.

Broeg’s series brings new understanding to abstraction, fuzzy logic, the relevance of new technological implications, image-painting relationship, abstraction, categories of radicalism and/or relationalism, the sublime, the grid, the monochrome, idealism, and constructivism.

The works were shown in the exhibition Positionen 09 (13 June-15 September 2009), which was curated by internationally acclaimed artist and Professor of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Christian Megert (Group ZERO) in which 47 international artists were selected to give an overview of the diversity of artistic approaches influenced by this key figure of European Post War Art.

Fuzzy Logics was also shown at Petra Rinck Galerie, Düsseldorf (10 September-29 October 2011).
