...the cupboards were cheap particleboard reproductions made in the 1970s or ’80s, not weighty hardwood originals. Prop-like, a-historical, and denuded of any obvious purpose, the artists’ delegatory strategy itself - the simple rule, one cupboard in every corner - became an essentially abstract, conceptual performance, with shoddy furnishings standing in as place holders. The erasure of reliable trails of reference left the task of reading the work and investing it with meaning more than ever in the hands of the viewer, albeit with the aid of the artist-scripted press release which duly noted the cupboards’ provenance and the installation’s links to Minimalist and Conceptual trajectories.

Untitled (Vampire), Wächtler’s latest film, features the artist as the vampiric protagonist. As an undead and immortal creature that lives off the blood of others the vampire today represents a classic representative of bubble-culture. Everything revolves around him and his world, his desires and lust, never mind the forces of garlic. Perhaps the vampire is even emblematic for the figure of the artist? Or art in general? It, too, conceives of itself as immortal and hovers in a realm between life and death; it, too, has to be revived by us time and again by way of contemplation, reading, listening, and recitation. As such we are its lifeblood. And like the vampire, art, too, is predatory, parasitic, introverted, narcissistic, mean, and sometimes perverted. And most of all: it just keeps on going.
