Title:
Formschön

Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig, 2007

Description

FORMSCHÖN deals with two central paradigms of Europe’s 20th century history—formalism and socialist realism, reflected and interpreted from a nowadays perspective through the artist’s personal history and experiences. It looks back into the times of the modernist utopia and the ideological struggles and also opens up a discussion about re-contextualisation and representation of contemporary art and its conceptual and formal sides.

Material

Wallpainting, steel tubes; glass-brick wall + mdf structure; 64.000 wooden beads, ropes; wooden veneer marquetry + wall paper; ceramic by Ursula Fesca, steel tubes, chipboard; newspaper, newspaper clip (framed), furniture; curtain
