Info
Paul Wallach
Since Viennese gallery owner Heike Curtze introduced American-born Paul Wallach to the European scene, showing his first solo exhibition Grounded in 1992, the artist’s works play a solid part in the gallery’s program. Where Ends Meet, Wallach’s second exhibition in Berlin, emphasizes on new works developed from 2006 to 2008.
“Wallach’s sensitive poetical dialogue with the material, with space, with the processual growth of forms“ (Barbara Catoir), evolved in correspondence with the art of indigenous. This puts Wallach on the same level with artist such as Eva Hesse, Richard Tuttle and Richard Long, who restored the psychological moment serial objects were stripped from in Minimal Art, thus again enabling the spectator to feel a wider array of emotions.
Fragments of modest materials interlock organically and support each other, forming structurized totalities that appear to happen anew every moment – balancing acts between construction and deconstruction, compression and decompression. Inch by inch, Wallach’s fragile assemblages “grow out of the wall, bridge corners, hang on string, and in this way choreograph space with a virtual weightlessness and august grace” (Barbara Catoir).
