Spatial dynamics on paper
By Walter Seidl
The exhibition On Paper, curated by Sepp Auer, deals with sculptural studies and formations that regard drawings as the starting point of viewing and go far beyond the classic form of sculptural drawings.
The function of a drawing as a sculptural reference point is explored in various ways, and the majority of the works presented can be seen as autonomous works, but partly also as studies for the realisation of objects.
On display are works created by 35 artists of different generations, who position drawings and sculpture from an intermedial viewpoint - taking up questions on form and function. Among them - a sculptural three-dimensional study by Valentin Ruhry, proving that a drawing is not necessarily a precursor for object-specific developments.
In a display cabinet, Ovidiu Anton arranged several sketches adjacent to one another, including thoughts about a performance as well as a photographic documentation of the final realisation, thus allowing the viewer to follow the developmental steps: from the idea to the realisation of this oeuvre. Using a graphic mindmap, Marusa Sagadin, in turn, analyses the relationships between space, architecture, object and sculpture in association with art theoretic questions.
In addition to a series of other works by a generation of younger Austrian artists, among them Judith Fegerl, Roland Kollnitz, Constantin Luser, or Markus Wilfling, the exhibition also offers insight into works conceived by masters such as Louise Bourgeois, Alberto Giacometti, Antony Gormley or Fred Sandback.
