RE-STRUCTURING (un_spaced / the passage)
The project UN_SPACED is a collaborative work and creative dialogue between artists TILMAN (D/US/FR) and CORA VON ZEZSCHWITZ (CN/FR).
In common linguistic use we mostly tend to refer to the term `space`as a mathematical or `hollow`space rather then an experienced space.
We inhabit this `mathematical`space – we dwell in it, we work in it, we are dominated by this Euclidian structure and it forms the center of our lives, may it be a house or an apartment, an office or an industrial space.
This `mathematical` space, which is to a certain degree shaping our perception, is like a skin which can barely be permeated, which reflects on our behaviour and our relationships to ourselves, other persons and/or objects of any kind. We cannot escape the fact of enclosure and structure, not even via architectural features enhancing the idea of the peripheral vision.
The human being is always and also necessarily conditioned in his life by his behaviour in relation to a surrounding space.
Experienced space on the contrary is by nature unstructured, and in this way extends in all directions into infinity, even when first given as a closed finite space lacking any form of socially functional activity.
This experienced space is deeply manifested in human life.It is related to the human being by a vital relationship with subjective and objective life in it and with it, and forms an essential medium of human life and expression.
The temporary extra-muros installation, entitled RE-STRUCTURING (un_spaced/the passage), aims to investigate the subjective and objective perception of space – of concretely experienced space opposed to a measurable mathematical space.
The structure in its rather raw and barren appearance recalls vaguely the outlines of a simple mathematical space transforming its volume into a spatial drawing leading towards the idea of an experienced space.
In its form an ‘open’ structure, a conscious construction of space, this work is to be understood as a topos, a place of departure for this investigation – visually and mentally. By its nature, its proposed ‘mobility’ as well as its structural fragility, the structure aims to suggest the idea of a nomadic existence rather then that of of a fixed location, once the meaning of space and topos are subject to change according to various backgrounds and areas of life. The singularity of its qualities is a form of expression, a test and realization aiming to invite the visitor to explore, experience his relation to the given open structure and reacting to it.
The structure can be seen as a place of passage or as a resting place, a place of fulfillment or as a possibility of development of thought. It can be experienced as a place of resistance as well as toeing the borderlines of spatial experience. It wants to inspire a dialogue regarding our relationship to space in its intimate, social, mental and even political dimensions.
In the second edition of UN_SPACED (the first edition was recently installed at N.O.S / Non-Objectif sud in Tulette, France) the artists choose the form of a passage/corridor as architectural vehicle to further research the possibilities of space as a medium. Over the course of two days, the artists will closely work and discuss with Prof. Renato Bocchi of IUAV/Venice and his students the idea of restructuring a given structure, explore all its ramifications and possibilities, and create new volumes and spaces to be inhabited and experienced.

MINUS SPACE is pleased to announce the exhibition Tilman: Radio Vallebona / Transmission #1. This is the NYC and Vallebona, Italy-based artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and it will feature the first installment of his
new transitory, environmental sculpture entitled Radio Vallebona. Developed over the past decade during extensive travel throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, and the United States, Radio Vallebona is the culmination of various aspects of Tilman’s studio practice, including his investigation of color,
light, architectural space, and social engagement with the public. Tilman’s installation also emphasizes the nomadic nature of his current practice, which often results in temporary site-specific projects realized in collaboration with other artists, curators, and exhibition venues. Described by the artist as “an open structure, a laboratory, and an arena for reflection, discussion, and exchange”, Radio Vallebona / Transmission #1 will consist of a single site-specific architectural structure extending throughout
the entire space of the gallery made of lumber, plywood, MDF, pegboard, fabric, light, and paint. The installation will also feature LCD projections of abstract and text animations, as well as an audio recording of various radio
broadcasts near his remote, rural studio in northern Italy. For his installation, Tilman also invited guest Belgian artist Greet Billet to create a new iteration of her ongoing project The development of the monochrome in its digital and analogue form of apparition. Started in 2008, the project investigates the tension between the digital (objective) and analog (subjective) nature of color through projected light, the screenprinted page, and installation. This is Billet’s first exhibition in the United States. A color catalog will accompany the exhibition.(excerpt, MINUS SPACE Press Release)

Many contemporary artists are now painting without necessarily using painterly materials or techniques. Some are re-visiting the questions inherent in painting (colour, grid, rhythm, light, composition) starting with the object or industrial materials and diverting painting towards the three-dimensional, making use of sound and/or image. Or they are dematerializing painting or applying it to the urban environment, working on the floor or ground or in situ. They have in a way dumped the canvas and the brush, abandoning the conventional picture in a quest for greater freedom in terms of the supports, materials and tools employed. They are once again moving painting outside its traditional domain into the realm of space and architecture, taking it further just as the constructivists and neoplasticists did before them; but using the means appropriate to the era of the digital image, sound and the composite material, producing the overlap between the functional and the decorative that is a feature of this design- and object-oriented society in which we live.
