The Centre of Attention, London
vs Abigail Durrant. Sculptures made of iron wires, which create three-dimensional objects called Electric Drill or Pressure Cooker. Any true visual penetration of these wire frames, including all possible views and perspectives, is imaginable as they exist as drawings in space.
Thomas Raschke studied art at the Akademie dBK, Stuttgart.
He lives and works in Berlin. He has shown extensively in
Germany and in France, most recently in a solo show at
Galerie Wieland in December 2001(click here for Galerie
Wieland's website). The work is also part of an upcoming
show at the Stadtliche Museum in Heilbronn.
This is the first time his work is exhibited in the UK.
At the Centre of Attention, he presents sculptures made of
iron wires, which create three-dimensional objects called
Electric Drill or Pressure Cooker. Any true visual penetration
of these wire frames, including all possible views and
perspectives, is imaginable as they exist as drawings in
space. The lines become minimal shorthand for complex
plastic forms; they define an anchor for the eye, which is
fooled by the familiarity of the object.
The Centre of Attention is a contemporary art gallery which aims to
present work deserving utmost attention from the viewing and buying
public. It started in August 1999 and is non funded and non commercial.
The gallery has no fixed premises and though many shows are taking
place at 15 Cotton's Gardens, others have been presented in different
venues across the capital and internationally.
Private view on Thursday 14th March 2002, 7 to 9pm
Exhibition running to 24th March, Thursdays to Sundays, 2 to 7 pm
