Mathias Weinfurter: Solitär
In the organizer's words:
The foyer of the Kunsthalle Darmstadt, a glass hall that connects the interior and exterior, is to be used as a new exhibition space for expansive works of art. Sculptor Mathias Weinfurter, the current Charlotte Prinz scholarship holder of the city of Darmstadt, is making the start. He is fascinated by the residential towers of the 1960s and 1970s in the Kranichstein district. The ideal of combining aesthetics and efficiency, which was later abandoned many times, has not lost its fascination for him.
In his spatial installations, Weinfurter often works with industrially manufactured mass products. Through targeted interventions, he breaks with the norm or plays with repetition as an artistic strategy to give the objects a new meaning. In 'Solitär', he makes concrete slabs, whose surface corresponds to the paneling of prefabricated buildings, "jump" through the exhibition space.
