220210: MUSA – Museum auf Abruf Stefan Glettler

MUSA – Museum auf Abruf Stefan Glettler 22.01.10 – 25.02.10 Material art Attractive bizarre objects, with - at a first glance - an indefinable materiality, are standing or hanging – as if they had just arrived from a different world – in the rooms of the Startgalerie. Sculptures made of iron, wood, leather and other materials, are all marked by their elaborate and skilful processing. Some of the sculptures remind of coral-like ocean forms, as shown in documentaries on deep-sea worlds. The combination of the reduced, clear form and the sensual surface structures distinguish all of Stefan Glettler’s (born 1980) works. The artist developed the surface design as a distinct form of art. Rarely is it as exciting to simply deal with the object itself, without having to consider any meaning or context. A contextualisation would distract from the own, inherent logic, material and form of these works. Not randomly, but rather with a surprising consequence do the individual materials find their individual matching form. Leather turns into a slightly curved, soft and flexible, but in no way weak, abstraction of a fin; and wool is wound around a nearly 2 meter tall pointed object. The artist refrains from simply choosing the most obvious forms for his objects; instead he chooses the most exciting, which explains the strong presence of the sculptures in the room. The few paintings in the exhibition are a logical supplement to the objects and radiate their own haptic quality. However, the monochrome-abstract canvases are inconceivable without the other works.
