Ancient & Modern is a small gallery in which to hold a two-person exhibition, but Volker Eichelmann and Florian Schmitt have made this a mischievous, expansive visual experience. Eichelmann's small collages, dubbed as "proposals for sculptures and buildings", combine crafty layers of reference (from shopping malls to Keith Vaughan) with a neat, deadpan cut and paste technique reminiscent of John Stezaker. Schmitt, on the other hand, has a more conventional approach to painting and the tropes of mid twentieth century abstraction, but somehow makes his work seem honest and poetic rather than self-conscious. What makes this a strong exhibition is the interaction between their works in the tightest part of this gallery, effectively a corridor between the front space and office area, through which Schmitt's light frame structure provides an armature interspersed with his paintings and a cluster of Eichelmann's collages. This laidback framing-cum-room divider, in which the viewer has to step carefully, insists on a different kind of viewing experience, a sort of exaggerated "looking through" as if, rather than theatre in the round, the audience has been invited on- and back-stage at the same time. It’s an old idea, but one which moves these paintings outside traditional chronological frameworks, making it seem as if Dadaists and Constructivists of the 1920s could get nostalgic for Abstract Expressionism.
