Frischzelle_12. The artist reveals their hidden structures with the help of natural materials, including clay, paper, wood, metal, and rock. Based on the interrelationships between location, object and beholder as well as interior and exterior, change and stability, naturalness and artificiality, the 33-year-old creates complex, visual conceptions.
Before Katinka Bock starts with an artwork, she sets out in search of traces. The history and constitution of the locations for which her sculptures, films and installations are created play an essential role in her work. The artist, who lives in Paris, especially tries to create new ways of seeing our immediate environment by making temporal structures and spatial and dimensional relationships visible. She reveals their hidden structures with the help of natural materials, including clay, paper, wood, metal, and rock. Based on the interrelationships between location, object and beholder as well as interior and exterior, change and stability, naturalness and artificiality, the 33-year-old creates complex, visual conceptions. Katinka Bock is the twelfth artist who transforms the space of the »Frischzelle«, an exhibition format for young artists at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, once again in a new, unique way.
We would like to thank the accounting and consulting firm KPMG for their support of this project.
