“It’s between certainty and uncertainty. It’s between order – regarding the composition – and disorder, it’s the plan and the chance. Exactly on the borderline of these polarities, that is where creativity happens.” —Dr. Corinna Thierolf

We are big fans of Robert Rauschenberg (b. 1925, TX, d. 2008, FL) here at Daily Plinth HQ, and we try to take any opportunity to catch shows of his work. One such rare opportunity is at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg, where there is currently on view an exhibition dedicated to Rauschenberg’s Borealis series of 1988-1992. The series consists of photographs taken during Rauschenberg’s ROCI (Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange) tour from 1984-1991, printed in collage on brass, copper, and bronze plates. With a tarnishing agent added, the view and texture of each work shifts and the viewer shifts perspective. The exhibition, mounted in collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is on view in Salzburg through May 31, 2019.

In this video, Dr. Corinna Thierolf, Curator at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (who also contributed a catalog essay) talks about how experimentation and the tension between order and chaos drove Rauschenberg’s work.
