Karl-Heinz Bogner, Objects

The Stuttgart-born artist Karl-Heinz Bogner explores the boundaries between painting, sculpture and architecture With his fragile wood and cardboard constructions, Bogner playfully unfolds border-crossing spatial worlds. Karl-Heinz Bogner himself describes his creations as protective spaces and retreats. The installation in the pavilion uses object series relating to the pavilion’s existing spatial situation to show just such a retreat by highlighting the quest for interrelations between lines, fields, volumes and cavities, between openness and closure, between light and shade. The works are either conceived as individual objects or object groups and further supplemented by sketches and drawings. While the “objects” may be immaterialized by the spectator’s movement, they still maintain their rigorous architectural vernacular in their overall form.
