“Worker’s club is a space in which the subject will, certainly be lined up with the light, but [s*he] will also, crucially, be encouraged to acknowledge and experience, [their] unfixed desires.” Christina Kiaer
Paula Gehrmann’s DISPLAY is an anti-monumental and relational sculpture and in this context inspired by Alexander Michailowitsch Rodchenko’s design for workers‘ club from 1925. (the photograph will be visible in the exhibition). DISPLAY, developed as a series of interstitial objects between museum and everyday life, was installed in situ for the exhibition Based on these new dependencies, we define five normal forms by the art space D21 from Leipzig, curated by Lena Brüggemann.
Throughout her practice Gehrmann engages with spatial patterns and social materiality as a dense cluster of information and potential. In moving in with and transforming her DISPLAY, School Without Center renounces the presumed ahistorical neutrality of the white cube to celebrate and be contaminated by the situatedness of a rich hosting structure. SWC engages with Gehrmann’s forms and materialities that are shaped by her sensibility towards the ability of industrial building materials to become shared sites of collective and individual formations of desires, histories and politics. In a ritual of making home for the people, ideas, art works and situations gathered at the School Without Center, museum workers and District people caress and bewitch the brown MDF and transparent Plexiglas surfaces of DISPLAY into sticky states of opacity and flickering.
