Remains: Zsolt Berszán provides in-depth insights into the works
that the Romanian artist (*1974) created between 2014 and 2021.
Roughly 100 artworks — paintings, sculptures, and mix-media
objects — shaped by the idea of dissolution and decay are
presented in three chapters. The artist again and again insinuates
the human body, which becomes visible in a macabre play of
distortions, contortions, and torn fragments. Zsolt Berszán is not
interested in the individual itself, but in human remains, which
themselves become the topic. Text in English and German.
Sculptor Claus Bury (b. 1946) has been enhancing public spaces in
Germany for more than four decades with his monumental sculptures,
which by now total more than 100. His canon of forms is comprised
of geometric basic corpuses, such as squares and cubes, triangles
and pyramids, rectangles, rhombuses and segments, which he employs
in a contemporary Archaic style oriented on the antique structures
of Egypt, Greece and Mexico. Bury's sculptures are almost always
accessible, and the contingent changes in perspective do not only
thematise the basic requirements of the human experience of form
and space; they also articulate people's experience in their
surroundings, impressively underpinning Hegel's theory that the
world has a 'house character' and that man is fundamentally a
domestic creature. A spectacular review of Claus Bury's monumental
works in ships, gates, houses, arches, bridges and temples. Text in
English and German.
