Olav Westphalen

Using drawings, installations and performances, Olav Westphalen tries to find out how contemporary art, besides being spectacular or didactic, can occupy the blind spots in dialectical systems. In 2000 he produced his first public work for New York City, "E.S.U.S., Extremely Site-Unspecific Sculpture," a project of the Public Art Fund. It was shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, Tompkins Square Park, and Corona Park, and is currently touring Europe. Olav Westphalen is a German artist living in New York.
