OBJECTS
25th May – 23rd June 2007

featuring:

Tea Djordjadze (Georgia)
Martin Soto Climent (Mexico)
Jordan Wolfson (USA)
Matt Johnson (USA)


Objects are everyday items, things, which we
surround ourselves with and which we are so
familiar with, that we barely consciously notice
them anymore. But the notion "object" also bears
a fetishizing character - an object can be an
unachievable dream, an eternal, intangible aim.

The group show "Objects" with Tea Djordjaze,
Martin Soto Climent, Jordan Wolfson and Matt
Johnson deals with this phenomenon and at the
same time tries to fathom -in the broadest sense-
the forms of contemporary sculpture. On the one
hand, there is the focus on stocktaking: How do
young artists from different countries and with
different backgrounds approach the topic
"sculpture"? What are the tendencies that
are discernable within the new sculpture? 

On the other hand, it also becomes important
to look back at the roots of present-day trends:
the Ready Made, surrealistic, constructivist
Dadaistic influences, but also Arte Povera
and Minimal Art. Not least, there is the question
about the interpretation of a sculpture; because
despite their three-dimensionality, despite
their seeming tangibility, all works in the
"Objects"- show hold their own materiality and
their own significance
