At the Andrea Caratsch Gallery you can see until the 28th of march the exhibition John Armleder Olivier Mosset New Paintings. As a matter of fact you could already see them from the 15th January „Olivier Mosset’s New Paintings“ in the same galery  and in the same display. In between the 7th of march John Armleder had taken over all the installation as an artwork under his own name. The process makes us think of the early Mosset paintings when he appropriated himself the stripes of Buren in 1972.( See the excellent book of Catherine Perret on Oliver Mosset ) Here Armleder appropriates himself the exposition of Mosset. It is a pity that some of the splendid monochrome paintings are not well stretched on the frames and produce parasite geometric reflections.
