In the broad range of Christiane Blattmann’s artistic work we encounter objects and pieces between two and three dimensions, carefully crafted materials as silicone, metal or jute, but most of all recurring references to human and other creatures’ physicality, architecture, clothing and images in a literal as well as metaphorical sense.
In a talk with her we explore these underlying notions and how her works refer to both: intrinsic topics of sculpture, of building, erecting and composing, as well as questions such as: Which spaces do we inhabit or get access to inhabit? How does a body relate to space relate to scale? How do fragments of narration enter a piece of art? And last not least, why is an almost abstract sculpture invaded by an almost naturalistic snail?
