A beautifully balanced rectangle
Aggressively divided harmony
It sucks me right into its frame
Stop me from spiraling.
You Can’t Put The Golden Spiral On Everything is dedicated to our everyday understanding of objects and questions this through artistic exploration. Our attention is not focussed on what we are used to, what we do not question, but on what we are actually looking at. In this process, the norm is emphasised through visual contrast - thus highlighting the character of the object without completely alienating it. It is a homage to the power of metaphor and myth, which gives objects an unpredictable autonomy and allows them to be linked to new interpretations. Imagination becomes a key tool for shaping multiple realities.
The works in the exhibition explore the semantics and character-building potential of aesthetic investigations. The fusion of art, design and craft eempowers objects and their constellations to question their relationship with us. Both the artefacts and the viewers are challenged to explore themselves and overcome the boundaries of the familiar.
