CLAUDIA WIESER – LOBBY
2020-09-07In order to better understand Wieser’s work, one has to consider her four-year apprenticeship at the famous blacksmith’s workshop Bergmeister in Ebersberg, which she completed before taking up her studies with Axel Kasseböhmer and Markus Oehlen at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. The workshop specialises in simple, early modern designs for clerical, cultural and political institutions. Wieser has never lost this connection to craftsmanship, in which pragmatic and artistic ideas merge (brought to perfection by the Bauhaus). With her, pedestals and mirror pieces, photo wallpapers, wall reliefs and podiums are always to be seen within a wider context, as elements in space that evoke a certain mood – and here we have come full circle, to Wieser’s long-standing work in the field of set design for film.
