Notes from the post-spaces
The central motifs of the installation Notes from the Post-Spaces revolve around the deconstruction of found
objects and an inquiry into the meaning of “ready-made” within its structural framework- a framework in which artificial matter serves as the foundation for grasping the significance of materiality. In this context, the concept
of “damage” becomes an intrinsic attribute of the material itself. Notes from the Post-Spaces can thus be understood as reflections on post-art and post-capitalist times, unfolding within the post-space. The fragmentation of our contemporary post-era and our existence within it is materialized through fragments of styrofoam.
In this setting, the viewer becomes a post-observer within a post-studio. Dematerialization is paradoxically articulated through its opposite, analyzing matter itself, thereby underscoring its significance within the realm of post-conceptual art. Engaging with post-space and its residual materials centers on recycling, transforming existing artifacts into new ones, and thus generating what could be called a post-artifact.
