Alicja Kwade

Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt

The Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt presents the Berlin artist Alicja Kwade's installation "The Void of the Moment in Motion" specifically developed for its Rotunda. The work leaves leeway for subjective perception and association. The threat it radiates makes itself almost physically felt. Or is it rather a feeling of uncertainty, of irritation that creeps up on the viewer? A motor with a circular thread is mounted in the center of the ceiling of the publicly accessible Rotunda. The stone with a diameter of about 30 centimeters hanging on a chain reaches to the upper, second story. A large, two-sided analogue clock with a diameter of about 50 centimeters has been mounted across from it at the height of the lower, first story. Both objects rotate around the central axis of the cylinder-shaped space and are incessantly reflected in the building's fenestrated facade covered with mirror backing foil. The objects following their infinite paths at unchanging speed produce a variety of sensory stimuli. Matthias Ulrich, curator of the exhibition, adds that "the artist raises doubts. Her works stretch an aspect of reality up to a point where it threatens to tilt or actually does so, generating something impossible, something that has not existed before." Opening party 25th march 7p.m. - 01 a.m.
