Exclusive new music by Lowtec for the exhibition "Transit" by Alex Solman

10 Tracks

60 min

Our existence is characterised by coming and going. Between entry and exit, we turn waiting loops in the transit area of life. Every now and then, we are startled by the passing of someone close to us or someone we have never met, but whose creative work has touched and influenced us in one way or another.

Alex Solman dedicates illustrations to many deceased artists, which he publishes on his social media channels. Not all of these people, whose figures he portrayed sometimes with straight lines and dry humour, sometimes with erratic brushstrokes and serious sadness, he knew or liked. But most of them have etched themselves deeply into collective and cultural memories, and thus into his own.

Solman's "drawn necrologies" are designed not only as a dedication to the deceased, but first and foremost "For the Survivors", as the title of his forthcoming book reads. For that is how it is to be understood: As a (self-)reassurance that we are not alone in our mourning for people we did not know and yet whose characters were so familiar to us. As an offer to explore their work and activities anew after their death or to discover them in the first place. As a promise that no person is ever really gone as long as there are others who remember - with pencil and brush, with a bit of cloth and paper, with words and what they left us.
The inventions, the literature, the music, the will to live.

His exhibition "Transit" invites us to pause and to remember those who have already left the transit space and yet are still there through their rich cultural legacy.
