Constantin Luser
Galerie Jette Rudolph, Berlin
The artist shows a parcours based on drawings and sculptures in association with sections from Biology and Technic, Architecture and History, Human and Body and finally Music. With their graphic finelined form, similar to the musical parameters tone pitch, length and volume, his drowings are relatable and readable.
Constantin Luser (b. in 76, lives in Vienna) plays us a canonical melody
of obsession to invite us to be a part of, go on expedition. In autumn
this year, after the second soloshow at the gallery, he will start off the
museum show at the Belvedere Vienna (cat.), because of winning the “BC 21
Award” for Young Austrian Contemporary Arts.
At the Berlin exhibition Luser shows a parcours based on drawings and
sculptures in association with sections from Biology and Technic,
Architecture and History, Human and Body and finally Music. The main space
at the gallery will occupied by the “Trommeliglu” (drum igloo) and the
“Vibrosaurus” (vibration saurian), 1:10. The recipient stands
interactional in front of three-dimensional sound sculptures relating the
synaesthetical sense to the artists drawings, commented motifs by some
words.
Therefore the „Vibrasaurus“ will be introduced by an accompanying artist
drawing as a “communal audio-generating saurian”, could breathed life by
lips and vocal cord vibrations of several people. The tones and sounds are
generated with the aid of 30 mouthpieces of several brass instruments
(French horns, Tubas, Trumpets), the blown air pressure in turns with the
compressed lips is channeled through the metal tupe-shaped skeleton of the
saurian.
The acoustics as a synonym for the notion of Constantin Luser´s drawings
is conterminous to the music term of the notation. With their graphic
finelined form, similar to the musical parameters tone pitch, length and
volume, they will be relatable and readable. These seemingly technoid
drawn systems are comparable to recording technics- registering the
perceptions of symbolic imagary characterizing conditions between actors
and cultural codes- like a cache. By use of the media paper or even the
wall the optical “wiring diagrams” counteract the multitude sheets of
portraits, refering the refuse to forget contra being changeable.
Meanwhile compressing reality by increasing the playful up to the
monstrous phantasy, things are filled with new acceptations, also the
ambigious meanings in society are shown, obviously a self-ironic must in
Luser´s cosmos.
Those fictions gets their concrete, sometimes utopian references by using
the speech. Although and for they lead us astray, so we have to look
twice, three and four times to struggle through the gallimaufry of lines
to the three-dimensionality.
Aside this and to exponentiate the recipient´s view, another sculpure
named “Rückblick in letzter Sekunde” (“last chance for rearview”),
multiplicates the view through mounted mirrors onto its branches.
And yes- it will be archaic!- Whenever the “Vibrosaurus” with the
“Trommeliglu” will goes together to extend their whole sound- Who is the
one, who doesn´t want to be in on it? Who doesn´t want to play along? Who
doesn´t want to follow Constantin, like childs the Pied Piper of Hamelin,
to discover more of his universe?
Perhaps you can see the marveling faces in the small rear-view mirrors of
the sculpture,indeed the mirror is the reflection of the now, the
narcissitic view on its own, self-identifying and welcoming, but even to
be astonished- as a childlike feeling.
