Yngve Holen
Untitled, 2017
Angezogen von Orten, wo Mensch und Maschine aufeinander treffen und Informationen austauschen, verwendet Holen in seinen Arbeiten oft Objekte und Technologien aus der Unternehmenskultur. CT-Scanner, Luftfahrtausrüstungen, 3D-Druck und halbierte Fahrzeuge tauchen alle in seinen neusten Werken auf. Für diese Ausstellung produziert er eine Serie von Skulpturen, die er mittels eines fünfachsigen Wasserstrahlschneiders herstellt, indem er die Mitte von Radfelgen herausschneidet. Von ihrem ursprünglichen Nutzen befreit, entstehen aus den Kunststoffdeckeln dekorative Schneeflockenformen, die an die Fassade eines Chalets angebracht werden – eine schlau geäusserte Kritik an unserer Kultur der massenproduzierten Individualität.
