Exposition

Art and Material (2020)

Michael Kargl

About this exposition

This exhibition discusses the question of what the term material means in relation to artistic work. Starting from a classical understanding that describes the materials of art only retrospectively, the exhibition explores the impossibility of understanding material as something separated from the artist and the working process, and thus as something that can be definitively named. Rather, it is proposed to understand material as something that is subject to constant change and exists as such only at the moment of its comprehension as material. The concept of material thus changes from a fixed fact to a concept of a relational process.
