Katinka Bock
Like with other works of the artist, with First Piano Katinka Bock tried to go against the rules of use of clay, that is, by forcing the material to the extreme, and transferring the resulting elements into a cubic shaped volume. Thus, the resulting accumulated strata brings back the material to its very essence, the earth.
The city, the landscape and the exhibition space are Katinka Bock’s favored playgrounds. Her installations, sculptures, films and photographs question the spaces of action and representation, in their daily and political use, through the prism of aesthetics and poetry. Katinka Bock makes changes to the landscape. In « Sol d’incertitude » (2006) the artist removes (Parisian cobblestones), quotes (a history of mobility), and modifies (tar coating). These actions function as small rituals. « Das Konservat » (2003), a 3 meter high wooden fence enclosing 2500 square meters of grass, acts like a cutting in the landscape, reminiscent perhaps of the ‘temenos’ (in Ancient Greece, sacred space in open air dedicated to a god). Although Bock’s objects are visually mute, they tell stories. For the exhibition « Kanon » (La Synagogue de Delme, 2008), a drama of materials occurred; the sculptures were transformed into still lives, with a fragile monumentality. Katika Bock was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1976. She lives and works in Paris and Berlin.
