Clemens Behr for Seize
German artist, Clemens Behr designs installation for the Galerie Seize … we love it!
“Garbage bags and cardboard boxes are cheap, beautiful, offer a lot of space, are always available, quickly to process, work without electricity and are actually meant for other purposes. Maybe that’s why they trigger me and develop a special charm and aesthetic meaning to me… The building process of my installations is like a journey to old childhood LEGO building times. I have a selected number of bricks and colors, a brief outline in my mind and a place to play with it. The causality of the construction, having a thousand options of putting together the different parts for me, is as blessing as the event of finding the paper boxes and materials in the streets itself. The cheap stuff from the trash is not meant to be an expensive sculpture material, so it gets treated exactly like that. I try to fit the installation into the space I build it. If it works out it seems like a transformation of the space and a naive removal of perspective.” – Clemens Behr
