We showed Axel Philipp’s sandpaper drawings in 2010′s “Come As You Are” show; now, a very different of his works – S KY 2000 – is part of the “Car Culture” exhibition at the ZKM, and I had the pleasure to write the text for the catalogue. The object itself – a vintage Mercedes cabriolet filled to the brim with oil – is conceptually as minimalist as it gets, but evokes a very quiet kind of visual magic through the infinite reflecting depth of the black fluid (also, metaphors abound). A second work by Axel could unfortunately not be included in the exhibition, but can be seen on the website along with my text.

A Happy New Year 2011 …

In 2009, I moved back to Karlsruhe to work at the ZKM. This is the view from the window at my home studio. There’s a tree made from ivy and some kind of rod.

Between 2004 and 2007, I worked as an assistant at the House of World Cultures in Berlin. As the HKW is housed in a historic modernist building, it was subject to renovation for a while during my stay there. This is the view from our office window.
