White Cube: 'Franz Ackermann'

Franz Ackermann creates cartographic watercolour drawings of urban areas undergoing rapid growth and development. These ‘mental maps’ form the basis of his multi-faceted site-specific artworks. Alongside the maps his work incorporates brightly painted wall murals, three-dimensional panels that jut-out into space, and black and white photographs, in an all-encompassing environment that dissolves traditional boundaries between artistic media.
