Nerijus Erminas and Rafael Piesliak create compositions or inclusions of ornamental and often evocative…

THE PARTICLES FELL SILENT KAI FRANZ OPENING: January 28, 2016, 7-10 pm Duration: January 29 – March 12, 2016 Artist Talk: March 10, 7 – 9 pm ROCKELMANN& is proud to present ‘THE PARTICLES FELL SILENT’, an introduction to the practice of U.S.-based artist Kai Franz. It is the artist’s first solo presentation in Berlin. Conceptually, Franz’s work questions notions of authorship and subjectivity. In the making of his work, the artist sets up systems and builds machines that translate digital drawings and information into the nexus of matter and materiality. As a result of these processes, the work manifests as sculptures, paintings, drawings and etchings, which tie together the artist’s…

The…

The exhibition space is consumed by a large-scale installation made up of multicolored brackets and links that crisscross and dictate the path you walk – mirroring the systems of control found in roads networks and airports. The gallery space is condensed to a game of lines and colors, evoking a claustrophobic reflex that seems excluding to the viewer. Florian Japp’s work originates from a personal observation of the puzzles found in everyday life, as a reflection of…
