Gerwald Rockenschaub is one of the most internationally renowned Austrian visual artists. His mode of working is characterized by the principle of concentration and reduction to a few essential elements and structures. With his pictures, objects, animations and installations, Rockenschaub refers equally to ideas of positions of modernism and phenomena of everyday and pop culture.
In the early 1980s he created small format oil paintings; a few years later the use of industrially manufactured materials and machine production modes marked a profound change in Rockenschaub's work.
In addition to his investigations of the (exhibition) space as a complex social structure, the use of digital means offers Rockenschaub new possibilities. The video installation selected for the O.K is the translation of a panel picture into moving images and thus a continuation of Gerwald Rockenschaub's form language and investigation of the art system.
