Hans Schabus: Let's Call It Heimat @Simon Preston Gallery

'Let's Call It Heimat' is the first solo exhibition of work at the gallery by Austrian artist Hans Schabus. Hans Schabus is known for his ambitious, radical gestures to deconstruct and restructure space. This is a large-scale cinematic video titled 'Atelier.' Beginning with a succession of broad outdoor establishing shots to the soundtrack of a Western: horses, Mexican singing, a village band, fragments of dialogue, etc., the video is a meticulous shot-for-shot re-creation of the infamous shootout scene from 'The Wild Bunch,' the 1969 American Western. The original scene, notable for its pioneering and intricate multi-angle editing, is transposed to the artist's studio in Vienna. In the front gallery, a work titled 'Beton', is shown on a floor-based monitor.
