SPLITTER: An Exhibition by Clemens Behr
Date: June 13, 2013 – August 4, 2013
Location: Gestalten Space
SPLITTER opened on Thursday, June 13 at Gestalten Space. A big thanks to all joining us at this beautiful summer night. We hope you enjoyed it! Clemens Behr’s site specific installations and latest selection of studio works can be visited until August 4.
The exhibition title SPLITTER is a double entendre that refers to the artist’s approach as well as to the visual impression his installations convey. By playing with both destruction and construction, Clemens Behr raises questions about ephemerality and permanency. In the same way, his work facilitates a dialog between our perceptions in the second and third dimensions.
Alongside his temporary site-specific interventions, SPLITTER also presents a number of durable objects. With his recent change to more stable materials such as wood and tiles, Clemens Behr has abandoned his use of cardboard boxes, which had become a trademark of his abstract spatial installations. It is especially revealing to experience Behr’s work at the time of this significant artistic shift since it gives an outlook on what is still to come.
