“Sculpture is frozen music: the observer is the pickup on the record player whose movement realises the temporal sequence.[1] Im Zweifelsfall keep dancing. We see more clearly when we are moving than when we stand still.[2] Bei welcher Auswahl soll ich bloß anläuten? Egal. Shoot blank. Have courage. Absolve the need to determine everything. Your selection will be custom-gift-wrapped to match your current mood.” – Signe Rose

"
The current show is not a collaboration as such, but there is something communal in the harmonious and productive discord. Molecules have been resonating for years between Rendl, Ahlers and Thiessen.[1] A mutual celebration of the citational. Knowledge shared episodically through whatever each of them saw, heard, or read. By spontaneous telepathy resistant to capitalist technologies and patriarchal patterns.[2] Making things and offering them to the world, not for utility or future capital gains, but to cast memory in physical form.[3]” – Signe Rose

"Geometric shapes and organic forms coexist in the conceptual works of Erwin Thorn (1930–2012), where they articulate the visual as a system of coordinates that redefines space and our conceptions of it. His works give an idea of Thorn’s radical rethinking of the canvas as a medium of artistic expression. His works from the late 1950s to the early 1970s restructure the perception of matter, space, and light. In line with the maxims of the ZERO movement, the artist pursued the purity of formal reduction and non-expression. More akin to reliefs than paintings, these works engage in a play of light and shadow, that depart from the conventional pictorial space to embrace biomorphic architecture." Vanessa Joan Müller

"Sculpture emancipates itself from landscape and architecture to become nomadic,
concentrating on its make-up, routine and performance within a set of cultural terms.[1] Artists emancipate themselves from their cocooned brains and let them go to seed to become porous bodies[2] that autotune to the environment,[3] dress to match the furniture.
Critics deprecate the mediocrity, naïvety, and soft-mindedness,[4] but one could as well seek roses in December – ice in June, as expect merit from a certain set.[5]" -Signe Rose

"Introversion and extroversion are equivalent distortions.
Rocking gently.
All is muted, dimmed...
"Introversion and extroversion are equivalent distortions.
Rocking gently.
All is muted, dimmed.
Rosa Rendl, Daphne Ahlers and Lilli Thiessen offer a soft surface for the overstimulated. Numb but on high alert, nothing seems placid. Yet somehow, not all has gone flaccid. Ripped sixpacks, tight packages are still available on the dropdown menu, now with complimentary orthopedic care." -Signe Rose
