VOLKER EICHELMANN / MANUELA LEINHOß
"Movements"
4.10.-15.11.2008
Opening Friday October 3rd 2008
We are pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition with works by Volker Eichelmann (b. 1973, lives in London) and Manuela Leinhoß (b. 1973, lives in Cologne) on October 3rd.
Both artists show collages and sculptures under the title “Movements”.
The collages “Proposals for Sculptures and Buildings” of Eichelmann are concerned with the imagined or virtual three-dimensional space suggested by the 2-D image and completed by the viewer, especially in recourse to fantastic, utopian and seemingly impossible conceptions of spaces.
His collages depict various sculptural forms which range from plinth based to large-scale architectural structures. Human figures or parts thereof often suggest scale or ways of interaction and incorporated text cuttings (e.g. cinema or Kunsthalle) hint at specific uses.
The collages incorporate recognisable devices such as the modernist screen or the reflective pond and feature reproductions of existing sculpture.
Manuela Leinhoß` sculptures deals with similar questions und she uses different materials like wood, paper-mache, aluminium or wire in her assemblages.
The titles of her fragile works suggest openess or vague certainty as well as the awareness of coexistence of presence and absence, precision and unstable.
Both Eichelmann and Leinhoß create within their works spaces of reference to literature (Virginia Woolf, Hilda Doolittle or Renè Crevel) and the history of art and architecture (Brune Taut, El Lissitzky or Constant).
The exhibition is on show October 4 to November 15, 2008.
