IMI KNOEBEL - BILDER

15th July to 3rd December 2017

Imi Knoebel‘s origins are to be found in Minimalism which has characterized his artistic work from its earliest beginnings right up to the present. Since the onset of the sixties when he joined the circle of young artists which had collected around Joseph Beuys and became an important contributor, there have however been very few who have followed up on the most fundamental questions regarding his work. And so the exhibition at the Skulpturenpark presents his Raum 19 (Room 19) a work which refers to the first years of Knoebel's career and yet at the same time embodies the continuity within his work. Raum 19 has thus been repeatedly described as a key work which exemplifies in showing within one single installation the relationships of expansive spatial bodies to extensive stratifications. It is the transitions and the interconnections of the works, also with each other, which play an important part in the reception of Knoebel’s work. This also applies to his coloured panels, a small selection of which Knoebel will be exhibiting in the Skulpturenpark.

Mathias Lanfer - SPAMS

21. Januar 2017 bis 5. März 2017

Das Bearbeiten der Materie ist oft mit Unwägbarkeiten verbunden, die zu unvorhergesehenen Resultaten führen können. Dieser meist unerwünschte Umstand ist für den Künstler Mathias Lanfer ein willkommener Anlass zur Improvisation. Obwohl er die Herstellung seiner Skulpturen mit Hilfe von Skizzen, Modellen und Bauplänen gründlich vorbereitet, lässt er sich dennoch auf die zufälligen Einflüsse ein, die sich im Zuge des Formprozesses zwangsläufig ergeben. „Logik ist dabei auch eine Form von Spielerei und Überraschungen entstehen selbst da, wo man sie erwartet.“, betont Lanfer.

MATHIAS LANFER - SPAMS

21st January until 5th March 2017

Working and processing materials is frequently set with imponderables which may sometimes lead to some unpredictable results. This more often than not undesirable state of affairs is for the artist Mathias Lanfer a welcome opportunity for improvisation. Despite the fact that the production of his sculptures is meticulously prepared with the aid of sketches, models and structural designs, he is quite willing to allow accidental influences, which are inevitable during the working process, to play their part. "Logic is also a form of play in all of this and surprises even arise where one would expect them.", he points out.
