Katharina Heilein: Change of use

The Centre of Attention, London

Katharina Heilein has been constructing, researching and imagining the transformation of spaces into ideal places for all. Patents, plans, models are all combined in her practice.

"The promise in Art and the Art of Promise are ongoing subjects in my practice, in the sense that the work speaks about what could be "just there", dreaming action within the sphere of the banal and everyday, where common interests refuse the dictates of the pre-ordained and the official use of things.

I try to use the particular "other" of an artwork to indicate and promise more "otherness" in the Real, thereby giving evidence about the similarities rather than the differences between art and other arrangements

In a series of models and photographs, water tanks found on top of New York's roofs and in London's City fringe and Bermondsey are subject to conversions into spaces available to the public for business and pleasure."
