They are an artist duo from Leipzig, Marcel Baer and Andreas Glauch produce graphical paintings and sculptures. Working with social and political themes, their name is a reference to George Orwell’s ‘1984’ and refers to having two contradicting beliefs in one mind – and accepting both.
For their paintings, sculptures, prints and light objects, they often extract widely known symbols, pictograms and figures from their respective contexts and present them in new and unusual ways. With a stylised and comic-like mode of representation in contrasting colours, Doppeldenk works out the relevant attributes of their motifs and thus create subtle critical and sometimes humorous statements on mass cultural phenomena.
