mullerdechiara is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in Berlin
for the artist, Eva-Maria Wilde.
The exhibition will take shape as an abstracted, urban landscape, as Wilde
transforms the space with colorful tower-sculptures and wall-paintings.
Eva-Maria Wilde's works manifest themselves through a series of abstractions
- creating impressive geometric and architectonic forms through which the
observer is invited to walk and explore.
Employing the methods of minimalist sculpture and a careful, almost
formalist commanding of color, Wilde creates bewildering environments that
conjure the menacing skyscrapers and flashing billboards of East-Asian
metropolises.
The photographs taken during Wilde's travels through various Metropolises
around the world, represents a comprehensive working-archive. The
Berlin-based artist is interested in the shell of urbanism and the way this
shell shapes and manipulates the space through which we move. She is
fascinated by the way buildings interact with each other, and how - through
a mixture of reflections and distorted perspectives - individual forms of
clustered skyscrapers are blurred and become almost indistinguishable.
Wilde's paintings demonstrate this fragmented visual experience of the
regimented lines of modern architectural forms. Through many alterations,
Wilde's architectural photography rematerializes as multi-layered
abstractions, while managing to escape the cold and distanced cliché of
urban forms.
Through a variety of means, Wilde transforms the inscrutable urban landscape
into intimately tactile forms and objects. Wilde¹s sensitivity to the
'human-scale' is apparent in her tower-sculptures and wall drawings. Her
works evoke a sort of collage with the layering of tapes, photographs,
mirrors and paint  all providing for a beautiful interaction between color,
texture and form.
We are also pleased to announce that Eva-Maria Wilde will be represented in
the group exhibition 'Contemporary Art from Germany' organized by the
European Central Bank (EZB). The exhibition will open on the 19th of June,
2004 in Frankfurt am Main.
Opening June 9th, 6 pm
Exhibition from June 9th through July 31st, Tuesday - Saturday, 12 - 7 pm
