Franz West - artist's data
Franz West - Profile
West has incessantly examined, expanded and irrevocably changed the notion of sculpture. The Â"PassstückeÂ" (Adaptives), which West first showed in 1980, laid the foundation for the sculpture as an object of participation. In fact, WestÂ's sculptures are in no way independent, finished works. It is only through interacting with the viewer that a sculpture finds its completion and fulfills its potential. This interaction may take place both on a physical and intellectual level. The idea of actually Â'usingÂ' the works of art, first expressed in the Â"PassstückeÂ", was further developed in the furniture that West began to produce in the 1980s. What is to be worked out, in the case of the former, by means of absurd gestures and improvised flows of movement, can be achieved with the latter by taking a break and reflecting (up)on the pieces of furniture. The objects, which Franz West describes as Â"legitimate sculpturesÂ", reach their completion through the exploration of ideas and chains of associations that are triggered in the visitorÂ's mind the instant he is looking at them. Using, meditating upon, and resting on WestÂ's pieces together constitute objectives of an art that juxtaposes its concreteness and abstraction with the viewer and his surroundings. In WestÂ's environments, where different groups of works are assembled to be experienced as a whole, all these aspects may coincide in the context of an exhibition. (Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zürich)
