Works
The series Mental Maps includes small-format watercolor - or gouache - sketches . The first mental maps were created on a Chinese block measuring 13 × 17 cm in Hong Kong. Ackermann still likes to fall back on this size today. The papers show almost realistic architectural views, biomorphic ornamentation , cartographic moments (e.g. suggested streets) mixed with abstract, garish and broken color surfaces and geometric constructions.
In 2012 Ackermann spent two months in Buenos Aires , Argentina . The result was 25 large-format wooden panels with his cards , which were shown in November of that year in an extension of the Faena Arts Center in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires.
His works are already in the collection: Museum of Modern Art , in New York .
