Wassily – I hate your pretty curves
Sorry, this entry is only available in Angličtina (Usa)
- The Wassily exhibition shows the newest work,00:00:05.481
- 00:00:05.481
- created in the last three months.00:00:09.637
- 00:00:09.637
- The artworks draw from some of the older pieces,00:00:21.615
- 00:00:21.615
- created as paintings, which I haven’t shown.00:00:25.691
- 00:00:25.691
- Meanwhile, I have produced other pieces00:00:30.056
- 00:00:30.056
- working with the attributes of spatial installation,00:00:34.277
- 00:00:34.277
- but also with objects and other media.00:00:38.339
- 00:00:38.339
- So, it’s a kind of a return to the painting.00:00:42.776
- 00:00:42.776
- You can find here references to modernity00:00:46.856
- 00:00:46.856
- and modern ideas, which serve me00:00:50.982
- 00:00:50.982
- as a means of defining the starting points00:00:55.288
- 00:00:55.288
- of my own art production.00:00:59.535
- 00:00:59.535
- The most extensive piece in the exhibition00:01:03.620
- 00:01:03.620
- is a series entitled Bau,00:01:07.811
- 00:01:07.811
- which is derived from the name of the famous school of Bauhaus.00:01:11.868
- 00:01:11.868
- And it actually refers to some of the principles00:01:15.974
- 00:01:15.974
- or understanding of a painting as an edifice00:01:20.072
- 00:01:20.072
- and a technical process.00:01:24.325
- 00:01:24.325
- It means that the individual paintings00:01:28.525
- 00:01:28.525
- are deconstructed into their basic elements.00:01:32.665
- 00:01:32.665
- So the canvas, gesso and painting are considered as equal components00:01:36.987
- 00:01:36.987
- and using a simple geometric order,00:01:45.794
- 00:01:45.794
- the structures captured by the paintings are created.00:01:50.064
- 00:01:50.064
- Along with the series of paintings,00:01:54.486
- 00:01:54.486
- there are two objects entitled Wassily00:01:59.125
- 00:01:59.125
- that are inspired by the techniques of modernist design00:02:03.469
- 00:02:03.469
- and the tubular furniture.00:02:07.861
- 00:02:07.861
- These formerly utilitarian objects have been transformed00:02:11.613
- 00:02:11.613
- into new objects of no practical purpose00:02:15.836
- 00:02:15.836
- and thus gain a new role.00:02:19.968
- 00:02:19.968
- What you can find there, is a search of the past00:02:23.871
- 00:02:23.871
- for the starting points and influences.00:02:28.076
- 00:02:28.076
- I guess they used to be latent in my work00:02:32.280
- 00:02:32.280
- and now I have tried to reflect on them00:02:36.456
- 00:02:36.456
- and work with them consciously.00:02:40.727
- 00:02:40.727
- The whole process has thus been further conceptualized.00:02:44.883
- 00:02:44.883
- It may show an experience with drawing00:02:53.753
- 00:02:53.753
- since I had been drawing more than painting00:02:57.933
- 00:02:57.933
- and it has somehow infused the way one understands the painting.00:03:02.124
- 00:03:02.124
- Because the underlying material, like paper in the case of drawing,00:03:06.207
- 00:03:06.207
- finds itself to be an important part of the final outcome,00:03:10.414
- 00:03:10.414
- since it is not wholly covered and plays an important role in the painting.00:03:14.668
