KOENRAAD DEDOBBELEER
SOME MATERIAL CULTURE FOLLOWING A RANDOM METHOD BASED ON ALEATORY RULES
Mai 36 Galerie
Koenraad Dedobbeleer creates sculptures, objects, and site-related installations, which strike a chord and yet catch us off balance. His works abound in allusion, ironic commentary and art historical reference. The artist reinterprets everyday objects by subjecting them to subtle but effective modifications, for instance, by changing their size, color or material, or transplanting them into a modernist context. He draws attention to their relationship with the Modernism of the 1920s and 1930s and, at the same time, subverts it in interventions that range from near imperceptibility to large, stage-like productions. His objects and shapes appear conspicuous and disconcerting, and at second glance perfectly ordinary. There is clearly method to his approach, which shows an affinity with appropriation.
This catalogue was published on occasion of Koenraad Dedobbeleer exhibition "Some Material Culture, Following a Random Method Based on Aleatory Rules" held from January 20th till March 10th, 2012 at Mai 36 Galerie, Zürich.
