CONSTANTIN LUSER | TOMAK

CONSTANTIN LUSER

With his so-called spatial drawings, sculptures made of brass wire, the artist translates the graphic element into the third dimension. Constantin Luser’s hanging wire formations are airy existences, without inner weight and solidity, but equipped with a delicate motion sensor system that is able to register currents of thermals and atmospheric fluctuations.
Luser’s interactive instrument sculptures, in which the viewer is invited to send sounds and vibrations into the room, go further into the social sphere. In this way, the multiple line is translated from drawing to sculpture to sound.

TOMAK

Man is a machine – structured, precise and yet also flawed. In meticulous precision work, almost machine-like, TOMAK uses acrylic and adhesive tape to create a stencil-like representation of man, which he then sprays with black spray in a spontaneous gesture. The formless spontaneity frames the schematic and creates figures that break out of the precise background and begin to detach themselves. The set overpainting is an act of intuition, of unplannability, of antithesis, of anarchy and chaos. The order, the constructed, the plannable is overcome by chaos – A trace of life remains, a moment of liberation that has been cast like a frozen shadow on the image – GAME OVER.
