In the exhibition ttled health house, Kiaer presents a large cellophane inflatable sculpture, paintings, models and works on paper.
From the press release:
"The works approach the subject of Richard Neutra’s ‘health house’ (1929), designed for the LA based physician and naturopath Phillip Lovell. ... Rather than a direct representation of the architecture, Kiaer has explored certain motifs through differing notions of abstraction, cropped images, painterly diagrams, plans and sections, scale models and previous works that find their reiteration within the play of the studio. For it is perhaps in the studio where the confidence of modernity and health are tentatively questioned— where stain, grime and the passing of time allow for human presence to be marked on the surface of things. It’s where the synthetic, natural, pristine, soiled—the machine and hand drawn, the measured, felt and sensed, all merge to find their register. Perhaps most of all it is where bodily frailty, weakness and sensitivity manifest most fully in attention."
Until 17th January.
