Blank_History
Year
Context
Blank is an experimental sculptural ensemble made up of five exhibits exploring different meanings of emptiness. Developed with Felix Weinold for Neue Galerie im Höhmannhaus in Augsburg.
Approach
In the installation »Historie« a small monitor on the wall displays the work data of every exhibit ever shown in the marked area next to it.
Consisting of five exhibits, »blank« is an experimental sculptural ensemble. The elements occupy the room according different interpretations of the theme:
Blank: shining – bright – purged – clean – empty space. These and other facets pose the impulse and framework of the project that is finally filled by the audience.
»blank« plays on the audience’s associative readiness and openness to concentrate on the barely perceptible, and to come away with their own sensory understanding. »blank« takes time, concentration and attention, yet it rewards one with ciphers, humor and pure eye candy. »blank« consists of a series of single modules that were created over a year for this project.
Since the opening of the »Neue Galerie«, the highlighted location has been the site of a wide variety of presentations and installations, which are evoked by the digital object label.
