050514: Galerie Guido W Baudach: Björn Dahlem – Orbits of High Velocity Stars

Galerie Guido W Baudach Björn Dahlem – Orbits of High Velocity Stars 02.05.2014 – 07.06.2014 Micro, macro und hidden chaos By Thomas W. Kuhn The objects and installations are extensive, like heavenly bodies in space, and Björn Dahlem's (*1974 in Munich) newest creation in his sixth solo exhibition at Guido W. Baudach' gallery once again extols the theme of an astrological phenomena. It's all about stars that gyrate at high speed around chaotic, non-elliptical courses with sources of great gravitational force. Björn Dahlem has created two of these stars out of old lamps and new bulbs that are anchored in wooden, five-cornered polyhedrons. The sculptor has also hung these two "stars" from the ceiling, as those from roof battens made out of bent, timbered trails that fabricate an image of the course of the planets through space. In addition, he has revamped the entire exhibition hall into a white, multi-cornered environment, which creates a futuristic atmosphere. The model turns the visitor into a stellar observer who can ramble around the cosmic structure from all sides. The constellations are accompanied by a show case, which, with a further model, illustrates the so-called "dark material" in space. Björn Dahlem, who holds a professorship at the Kunsthochschule Braunschweig remains true to this themes and his manner of representation, whose significant form language can be traced back as far as the late 1990s. His playful approach to the theme of astrophysics can first be seen at second glance, how virtuously the artist who lives in Berlin knows how to constitute a changing relationship between space and object. He delivers an autonomous vision of scientific theories which he – ultimately based on an old tradition – makes visible in an artistic context. In an ingenuous way, his sceneries allow reflection on the idiosyncratic relationship between the very large and the very small, between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Galerie Gudio W.
