Seizing the ivory tower #2. In his installations he explores the materialisation of intimate aspects of stories, occasions and phenomena in the marginal zones of our lives.
The participating artists in SEIZING THE IVORY TOWER present new productions, or installations developed specifically for 3,5, which are concerned with any aspect of life that eludes general awareness, purposely or inadvertently. The series focuses on stories, occasions and phenomena in the marginal zones of our personal or public lives, but also looks closely at the artistic strategies themselves used for detecting, investigating or revealing these zones.
Over the next few months, KW's assistant curator Nina Mende animates this independent space between the third and fourth floors with emerging and recent artistic positions.
Participating artists: Luisa Puschendorf and Julia Werhahn, Viktorija Rybakova, Frank Sperling, Luca Vanello, and Franziska Wildt.
Luca Vanello (born 1986 in Trieste, Italy, lives and works in Berlin) is interested in the condition of the socially excluded and the subtle traces of their existence. In his installations he explores the materialisation of intimate aspects of these realities. At the same time Vanello reflects on prevailing human conditions as a consequence of social and political dynamics through the transformation of individual traces and items. By this means Vanello's compressed, vaporized, erased, or fragmented materials give shape to unknown biographies and conditions between absence and presence
