When thought becomes matter and matter turns into thought. Through the creation of reflexive spaces of perception that flow into one another, overlap with one another or merge with one another, he succeeds in creating a very special langauage for these inner cognition processes.
In his comprehensive solo exhibition Nikolaus Gansterer carries out fundamental research in the field of creative working processes. The title of the exhibition in the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich is programmatic: When thought becomes matter and matter turns into thought. Thought processes temporarily assume form and material and become the starting points for new lines of thought. An independent cosmos of works emerges in which they repeatedly refer to one another.
In the gallery, in which various objects open up perspectives and the traces of the artist create a narration, another area is dedicated to Translectures. One part of the room functions as a lab in which the artist works on site: here things are in the process of emerging, of becoming, the artist’s working process can be understood and grasped directly on the site of events, for example on the basis of trees of knowledge, bodies of theory and figures of thought. This “exhibition lab” creates exciting insights into essential questions of human perception and interpretation that tell of the subjective construction of reality.
With his many-layered work in the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, Gansterer continues the transformation of thoughts into material into thoughts. Through the creation of reflexive spaces of perception that flow into one another, overlap with one another or merge with one another, he succeeds in creating a very special langauage for these inner cognition processes.
EVENTS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EXHIBITION

TransLecture
TransLecture is a discussion format developed by Nikolaus Gansterer that takes the idea of “allowing a dialogue to develop” literally, in the visual and verbal sense.
Themes, associations and trains of thought are formed by the discussion participants without any fixed allocation of roles and give a direct insight into the exhibition “When thought becomes matter and matter turns into thought”.
