Stretch Sculpture
01.10.2005 _08.01.2006
The exhibition "Stretch Sculpture" centres on sculptural
techniques which rather deal with the dynamic transformation
of relations than with static form.
Pop-up books are fascinating, not only for children: you
open a book, and instead of the usual flat pages, a three-dimensional
world expands, thanks to a sophisticated folding technique.
Contemporary sculptures also thrive on the possibility of
crossing boundaries, both spatial and material ones. It is
long past that the art genre "sculpture" comprised
a clearly outlined form of media.
The exhibition "Stretch Sculpture" takes a look
at sculptural art that forms by referring to, superseding
or crossing other media systems such as photography (Hans
Kupelwieser), drawing and digital image technology (Peter
Senoner), performance (Sissi),
sampling (Erik Steinbrecher)
or architecture (Sukenari).
The title of the exhibition - "Stretch Sculpture"
- directly signifies the process of extension and transformation:
sculptural techniques that centre on dynamic transformation,
the coexistence of past and future elements, the materiality
of elastic protocols of perception, both of the impression
and of the process.
