Karsten Konrad
24 Sep - 10 Oct 2010
ZUSPIEL / Karsten Konrad
selected by Rüdiger Lange
Wood and found pieces of furniture, often anchored in a site-specific space, line Karsten Konrad's artistic career. Hyperactive, deconstructive, and yet utterly relaxed in his own envisioned cosmos, he is one of the leading individuals of a scene that never gives up working on the reformulation of the urban world. Some of his objects and spatial constructions have long become cult due to their enduring desire to exceed the norm through a second usage that conserves resources. Few sculptural statements are able to convey such a formally coherent and progressive impact.
Karsten Konrad, born in Würzburg in 1962, lives and works in Berlin.
24th September - 10th October 2010
Tues - Sun, 2 - 7 pm
Opening: Thursday, 23rd September 2009, from 7 pm Gallery spaces at Kottbusser Straße 10
