MOTINTERNATIONAL Brussels are delighted to announce the first solo
exhibition of Florian Roithmayr in Belgium, with a presentation of new
sculptures.
Florian Roithmayr's work explores a concern for activities and
relationships that shape environments, supported by his investigation of
empathy in various forms of production, including archaeology,
conservation or pedagogy. He is known for a diverse practice often
emphasizing the process of moulding and casting as both documentary and
transitory exchange that leaves subtle traces. Central to these processes
is the peeling open of layers to reveal the generative gap between shapes,
surfaces and materials that form and yield another. In this hidden and
unobserved space, the gesture of contact and touch continues to reappear
and proliferate throughout the history of sculpture.
SERVICE refers to the inconsistency between intangible engagements that
produce no concrete material results and the substantial inventory needed
to assist and sustain exchanges or provisions. The set of actions and
solutions to deliver services are often incongruous to any clear outcomes;
their speed doesn't allow language to attach itself to their performance;
and their benefits might be postponed indefinitely.
Florian Roithmayr (b. 1976, Rosenheim) lives and works in London.
