Albert Oehlen is one of the most important and innovative artists who has been deconstructing the medium of painting from the 1980s to the present. Basement Drawing captures artist’s avatar creating an ink drawing in his Pasadena basement studio. In this piece, the artist demystifies himself by revealing his avatar at work. He closes the gap between himself and the viewer, as well as reality and fiction. Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine, and developed, produced and directed by John MacInnes, it premiered at ART BASEL Switzerland in 2022.
