WE DIG REPETITION: PETER ROEHR<\/strong> \u201cI alter material by organizing it unchanged. Each work is an organized area of unchanged elements. Neither successive or additive, there is no result or sum.\u201d (Peter Roehr, 1964)<\/p>\n You might think that Andy Warhol took pleasure in endless repetition, but he\u2019s got nothing on Peter Roehr, a German artist whose brief career produced hundreds of works using type, photography, collage, film and audiotape. Not content with applying mechanical reproduction techniques to art-making, Roehr instead chose to appropriate industrially produced materials. His many photo collages present austere grids of identically cropped images from magazines. Similarly, his film and sound montages are constructed from brief passages, frequently drawn from commercial advertising, repeated without variation, for an irregular number of reiterations. The result is an insistent, hypnotic demonstration of stoic seriality that takes time and time again.<\/p>\n Peter Roehr, Film-Montagen I-III, 1965, 16mm film, 23 minutes<\/strong> Roehr died at the age of 23 in 1968. From November 2009 to March 2010, his work is surveyed in parallel exhibitions at the St\u00e4del Museum and Museum f\u00fcr Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt which commemorate the 60th anniversary since his birth.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel identical with what I do.
