Personal Structures - Sculpture

Personal Structures (a show currently on display at the Ludwig Museum in Germany) is an international art project aimed at presenting those artists in exhibitions and publications who are concerned with the personal or subjective interpretation of simple, or supposedly simple, abstract concepts of form (structures in the broadest sense of the term). A reduced language of forms, the tendency towards serialization, as well as the individual, intrinsic treatment of form, color, material and processes of creation are features common to their works. Likewise, working in the border areas between the genres of painting, sculpture, and spatial installations is a central concern which applies to the majority of the exhibiting artists. The art represented in “Personal Structures”, for all the diversity and innovative energy of the individual contributions, owes much to the abstract modern and (post-)minimalist movements by using their basic vocabulary.
