Albin Ray

The works of Albin Ray speak for themselves and for their creator. Implicitly, they must, as little is known of this nomad who moves between Vienna and New York.

Albin Ray deliberately withdraws from the self-preoccupation and navel-gazing of contemporary media-society. Thus even more so, do the bold works of Albin Ray move into the foreground; demanding active interpretation by the observers and discoverers of his utterances. Nothing but single words, phrases, shreds of thoughts, rhetorical questions and absurd pairings, Albin Ray leaves behind in repeatedly black letters, placed at those points in the city, which are not to be seen or about to disappear and covered up: Words in constant flux, under permanent reconstruction and prey to oblivion - kindred to human thought and perception.
