 Klaus Merkel: 07.09.01, 2007 Oil on Canvas, 140 x 97 cml Klaus Merkel & David Reed The intact body, which painting once portrayed as ist own, a blueprint of the world, this intact body has been under fire from the representational media and so atomized that it can only continue to exist as a phantom body.  David Reed: #581, 2007-2008 Oil and Alkyd on Linen, 66 x 127 cm No effective power is gained by denying this development, but there is by making its erosion between surface and volume, picture and content, representation and the represented into the necessarily fragile basis of a pictorial practice and, in such a way, binding the living and the dead very tightly together.
