ANNE SCHNEIDER

Posted on 2011-07-04

In her most recent works Anne Schneider deliberately refers to the usual steel-reinforced concrete construction, sheathing iron rods in concrete, while at the same time giving the construction material the appearance of a soft textile and thus lending it an unusual familiarity. Thanks to the artist’s handling of this cold and hard material it takes on tactile qualities: human traces, folds, curvatures and scars. Based on this initial sheathing, she had developed works that continue in diverse ways this interplay of material and effect, construction and furnishing, architecture and individual, past and present.

Exhibition runs through to September 10th, 2011
