More Information
The finger-game is about the soft material paper wrapping around the hard stone or being cut by the scissors, the metal of the scissors in turn being cut by the stone. Certain aggregate states of matter reveal their properties. The exhibition examines and shows what effects they have and how unambiguous they are or seem to be.What remains, on the other hand, is a pair of metal scissors from the crematorium ashes from the act of burning the human body, as well as stone formations apparently as the remains of gallstones or kidney stones (Tina Ruisinger). These have condensed into stone masses in the human body from extracted minerals of vegetarian food (preparations, small gallery). Paper layers form congenial skinning paper torsos (Marlies Liekfeld-Rapetti), while wearable paper dresses suggest textiles (Frauke Danzer). Non-representational paper castings (Bodo Korsig) can be read as invented concrete. 17 invited artists deal with their material, the material and its effect. In an exemplary way, matter is shown as what we think we know or in opposition to it. In this way, the exhibition serves to question being or appearance, passing or standing, and offers just as much playful access as the title promises.
