LIKE SUNLIGHT COMING THROUGH THE CLOUDS
ROBBY MÜLLER
June 26 – August 22, 2020
As we head into the last days of our first solo exhibition by Robby Müller, curated by Andrea Müller-Schirmer, Annet Gelink Gallery is pleased to present this viewing room of the exhibition. The show comes after solo exhibitions at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin, as well as solo presentations in Arles and Rotterdam.
The exhibition will be traveling on to Milan in the fall and will be on view at Case Chiuse from September.

Using the square format, Müller would conjure atmospheric and striking images out of his daily life: hotel rooms, American cars, magically lit city scenes, abstract patterns in urban landscapes and domestic still-lives. Works like While shooting Mystery Train, Memphis, Tennesse and Santa Fe, New Mexico II, highlight the painterly quality of Müller’s work through their almost Hopper-like compositions. Seen side by side, the works provide a broader view of Müller as a visual artist, with the Polaroid works both complementing and reaching beyond his cinematographic work. Like Sunlight Coming Through the Clouds spotlights Müller’s ability to form iconic images on film that not only portray his unique view of the world, but also his talent in forming something new and more radiant out of it.
