"Raumflucht"
is an exhibition showing aspects of the field
of tension of space, interior space and free space.
Interior design, architecture and landscape are
contemplated in their mutual connections and in
reference to the individual as the user of space.
The works of the seven artists‘ positions
involved deal with this theme in installations,
in photography, painting, drawing and design.
The exhibition curators have laid particular emphasis
on putting together works that cover a great range
regarding content as well as form.
The exhibition brings up three main areas: besides
computer generated image spaces as parallel worlds
it deals with "classical" techniques
of illusion in painting and drawing as a balancing
pole for reality and with sculptural comments
on socio-spatial conditions. |

In his series "Dortmunder
Berge" CHRISTIAN DIEHL shows that unexpected
and surprising places can comprise elevations
deserving this name, tinted ironically though.
For his construction waste hills Diehl chooses
framings in which no further information in
foreground or background can distract from the
motif. This way he provides the temporary hills
with a monumentality that is starkly contradictory
to their transitoriness. As a result a raised
typology emerges with regards to the specific
structure and colourfulness of demolition projects
in the eastern Ruhr area.

ANDREAS KOCH's works make use
of all media, be it photography or film, sculpture
or installation. What always matters to the
artist is the reorganization and clarification
of the space, of the three dimensions. By changing
scale and relations between the objects Koch
unsettles seeing with long-lasting effect. In
large size black and white images, partly mounted
directly to the wall like wallpaper, he plays
with the increasing dissolution of photography
just as much as with the denial and reversal
of perspectives. The models come from the private
setting of his home as well as from tower block
architecture. Their patterns are the basis of
both photographic works and gigantic Playmobil
installations.

With
his furniture series "Krat" GUIDO MARSILLE
has created a novel form of interior equipment
for public spaces. Following Rietveld's deliberately
simple-structured pieces of furniture he uses
boards to construct sculptural relaxing furniture
of exceptional size and novel function, for school
yard as well as for pedestrian area or mall. In
the Künstlerhaus he documents the complete
spectrum of his work and also shows examples of
current series. |

The
starting-point of STEFAN MAUCK's work is an intensive
examination of form and meaning of dwellings.
Mauck works on the lower middle-class idyll in
reliefs: cut in half and in oblique view the simplified
little houses come forward from the wall and despite
all their plasticity it is the hollowness of their
promises that they bring to the market. The works
for the exterior consist of texts, their typeface
copying architectonic views. As regards content
the texts deal with the origins of the buildings
and their occupants' conditions of living. In
installations for the exhibition space Mauck confronts
perspectively structured wooden outline models
of architecture with descriptive texts. |

MICHAEL
REISCH shows views of industrial and residential
buildings as well as landscapes in large size
photographs. The interplay of architecture and
surrounding hints of nature produces an uneasiness
that feeds on the artificiality of the depicted
scenery. The computer-made adjusted "images"
are creations of the artist who inserts our popular
ideas as merely general fixed points into a completely
reshaped image reality. |

MYRIAM
RESCH's wall works virtuously play with the difference
between illusion and "making-of". While
the work is still unfolding its sometimes romantic
effect, the viewer becomes aware of the constructedness
of the situation. Thus the superficial illusion
is suddenly tied back to the space in which it
was created. In her wall works Resch interprets
the space, whereas her panel paintings present
architecture as patchwork, as pattern. |

KATHRIN
SCHIFFBAUER replaces - in collaboration with MIKE
LANKES - the accustomed architecture with a series
of "life-size" drawings that are attached
to reality. In spite of all the spatial expansion
of the work the big gesture is avoided owing to
the reduction of the means of drawing. In the
installations the simultaneous perception of three-dimensionality
as drawing and of drawing as substitute for space
arises instead. Irritations about the relations
of space and reality thus go hand in hand. |
