1301PE is pleased to announce its second exhibition with Düsseldorf-based artist Jan Albers. Following Albers’ critically acclaimed solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven and the Von Der Heydt-Museum Wuppertal in Germany, this exhibition presents new wedge pieces, ‘chainsaw massacres,’ as well as his hydraulically pressed automobile pieces.

Even if the attitude is that painting is over, I still keep on working on the idea of doing something new, by avoiding oil paint on canvas. – Jan Albers
