Edit ProfileCareer
From 1992 until 1994, together with the music journalist Karl Bruckmaier, Zehrer initiated a series of single topic film events (such as "Beatnik") in Munich. The director of the State Gallery Baden-Baden, Karola Grässlin, called Zehrer "not explicitly a painter, since you also create sculptures, drawings, room installations. But if you are a painter, then one who works conceptually and minimalistically.
Is your aim to pose a radical challenge to the traditional understanding of painting and sculpture?" Zehrer answered: "lieutenant’s possible that I invent these techniques in order to not to have to paint on canvas.
Even though these Plexiglas pictures are all glued on canvas so they can be hung on a wall."
