REITER presents Back to Back to Back, parallel exhibitions in Berlin and Leipzig featuring German artists Christian Holze and Anselm Reyle alongside Hungarian artist Márton Nemes. The three artists, coming back to back, engage with fundamental questions of contemporary painting. Superimposition, material plurality, and the traditional picture format are scrutinised, resulting in what Baudrillard might call an “‘aesthetic’ hallucination of reality.” Uniting their individually transgressive practices, the artists create their alternate versions of reality – self-referential environments in which painting, sculpture, and installation become indistinguishable. Their idiosyncratic painterly techniques and visual systems intensify perceptual experiences. Far exceeding the limits of art historical conventions, the works stimulate material awareness and conceptual cross-referentiality. Together, Holze, Nemes, and Reyle construct total visual and auditory environments that transcend the boundaries between media, subject and object, and the physical and virtual realms. The exhibitions are immaterially linked by an original soundtrack composed by Péter Hencz, based on the artists’ musical preferences – an absorbing soundscape that blends techno, metal, and noise, punctuated by brief moments of acoustic harmony. Released on vinyl, the dual exhibition concept echoes the A/B sides of records. – Hanna Claris
