Abstract: Mind Bubbles è un progetto pensato come installazione per la hall di ingresso della sede centrale della Volksbank di Vienna, edificio progettato dall’architetto tedesco Carsten Roth. Le sculture sembrano bloccate in aria, quasi come se un dispositivo le avesse immobilizzate e sospese nell’ambiente, un processo che gonfia, distorce, ingrandisce e rimpicciolisce, crea forme inaspettate e nuove realtà che riprendono la nostra quotidianità. L’utilizzo degli oggetti comuni come i vestiti rimane tipico nella produzione dell’artista, basti pensare alle sue famose One minute sculpture, ma in particolare alle sue tante sculture realizzate con abiti compressi. Materiali al di fuori della tradizione che permettono un nuovo approccio al medium scultura.
Mind Bubbles is a project designed as an installation for the entrance hall of the head office of the Volksbank Wien, a building by the german architect Carsten Roth. The sculptures seem to be suspended in the air, as if a device had frozen them: a process that inflates, distorts, makes things bigger and smaller, creates unexpected shapes and new realities that become an inspiration for our everyday life. The use of ordinary objects, such as clothes, is typical of the artist work, as we can see in his well-known One minute sculptures, and in particular in the sculptures he realised with stuffed clothing. These are materials that – standing outside tradition – allow the artist to experiment a new approach to the medium of sculpture.
