  • 2017 The Promised Land,[19] Ulrike Theusner and Jazz-Minh Moore, Galerie Rothamel Erfurt, Germany

Ulrike Theusner and Jazz-Minh Moore met in 2010 in New York. They founded the collective "GutBox" and presented under this label several exhibitions in the United States. "Promised Land" is their first cooperation in Europe. Like "The Gasping Society" - another series of Ulrike Theusner presented in parallel at the Anger museum in Erfurt (Germany), "The Promised Land" focuses on the loss of benchmarks, the drift of justice towards self-righteousness and to the perdition of people in a complex system. Jazz-Minh Moore says, «This body of work begins with a series of paintings juxtaposing an abandoned American diner with the new multi-billion-dollar «Biospheres» currently under construction in Seattle. The America of our grandparents’ generation is being abandoned for new, high-tech or exotic options. Many people have been left behind. This is not new news, but it has become magnified with our recent (2017) election. »
