GERT & UWE TOBIAS: “COME AND SEE BOFORE THE TOURISTS WILL DO – THE MYSTERY OF TRANSYLVANIA” IN SOHO— 2/11/10.

Team is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by the Köln-based brothers Gert & Uwe Tobias entitled Come and See Before the Tourists Will Do – The Mystery of Transylvania.  To date, the biographical details surrounding Gert and Uwe Tobias have been used as an entry point to their sophisticated, ultra-stylized and, at times, darkly humorous installations, which, through their incorporation of wall painting, watercolors, collages, vitrines containing altered books, type-writer drawings, ceramic sculptures, and large-scale wood cut prints frequently approach the status of the gesamkunstwerk. The fact that they are identical twin brothers, for example, seems to provide an insight into the fact that their primary mode of production is that of printmaking and that these works are produced in hand-made editions of two — never exactly the same but always alike.
