Like the disparate group of figures it assembles, a kind of bedraggled salute to the techno-utopian visions of the twentieth century." Catherine Nichols in the catalogue FALL - an exhibition by Svea Duwe with...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ornamental surfaces, which are mounted on each other, interlock and overlap, form a space-embracing structure. The different linear structures were stitched from black carbon fibre bundles and were then hardened with epoxy resin. The hard, clearly structured patterns partly merge into unstitched shapeless strands. The result is a juxtaposition of stable, defined forms and delicate, freely...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Eleven artists were invited by Zentralwerk in 2016 to work on the photo series "Raumung" with the former banquet room of the large graphic arts company VEB "Völkerfreundschaft" Dresden. The photos were always taken from the same angle. For the photography I rearranged the found things and furniture and placed two projections in the room. I...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the context of the exhibition "Denn das Schöne ist nur des Schrecklichen Anfang. KünstlerInnen zwischen Selbstinszenierung und Selbstreflexion", I connected two rooms lying one above the other to an installation. The upper room was located opposite the entrance to the exhibition. It is about 4 square meters in size and with a room height of...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I use skates as a symbol for thinking. This installation approaches the question of how an idiosyncratic way of thinking can develop on the basis of inherited, predetermined and ingrained patterns. The triumph of "Victory" over the imitation of ingrained patterns would be the free, independent trace, which is not yet conceivable here, however, since...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Turning Invisible consists of many individual round gypsum discs, which are stacked to form a column. The column is guided inside by a 10mm thick threaded rod, which is anchored in the bottom disc and leads into a drilled hole in the ceiling. The column is flush with the floor and ceiling of the room....
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Giving Birth The curtain rod is formed into an infinity loop, a horizontal 8. Within this shape there is a point where the rod is attached to the ceiling with a steel cable in such a way that the two round sides float evenly. The rod is tightly hung with 2cm wide bands made of two...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] (black version) On a black pile of styrodur and wood, shards of thick shop window glass are stacked in front of and next to each other. The shards are painted fragments of an overall picture on which the words enduring freedom can be read. Image and lettering are thus created by layering the shards. The installation...
