Pre-/De- Form Me

Pfefferberg, Berlin

Works by 9 European artists. The eclectic variety of works comes together under the theme of the exhibition: individual deformation to society. As the title suggests, questions concerning oneself arise. Each artist represents different aspects of the spectrum, from questioning the existence of an origin to the different processes we undergo to reach our current state of being.

Pre-/De- Form Me takes form by exhibiting nine European artists. The eclectic variety of works comes together under the theme of the exhibition: individual deformation to society. As the title suggests, questions concerning oneself arise. Are we preformed? To what degree do we deform? Which factors shape me? Each artist represents different aspects of the spectrum, from questioning the existence of an origin to the different processes we undergo to reach our current state of being.
From site-specific to sculpture to anatomical materials, each method of depiction is the translation of a personal form, process or state.

Between January 28 and February 06, the interplay of artwork and visitor will create and shape the state of Pre-/De- Form Me, as an exhibition, observation and study of social and personal interaction.

The catalog is a complementary element to the exhibition.
The exhibting artists were commissioned to produce an artwork specifically for this book. Each artist was interviewed about their artistic process which offers an insight into the exhibited artwork. The result has been carefully handbound and makes each book a unique copy. First edition: 100.
The catalogs are for sale during the exhibition for 3 Euros and can also be ordered by e-mail.

Pre-/De- Form Me is an ongoing process between artists and visitors.
Colored pencils are included in the purchase of the catalog which offers an opportunity to collaborate with the artists.
Each viewer is invited to edit the catalog.
Please e-mail your images to info@kaleidoskop-art.com and they will be posted on www.pre-de-form-me.com
