ALFONS KNOGL

GLOBAL STANDARD

This exhibition by our current artist-in-residence Alfons Knogl features recent cement sculptures and new works connected to the artist´s "Coffeetable"-series. The title "Global Standard" refers to the global GS1 system which standardizes and numbers all kind of products. The show explores the in-between of an individual artist´s practise and the global-market's understanding of form and material. 

Alfons Knogl is deeply interested in the context and connection of sculpture, furniture, interior design and music as forms of culture. Using the references and meanings of materials like stone and concrete, he builds forms such as bowls and tables and expressions of music which can be autonomous on the one hand and socially related on the other. 

This exhibition is Knogl´s first in India. Other recent solo exhibitions since 2010 include Kunstverein Kjubh, Cologne, DREI Gallery, Cologne, Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne (Concert), SUSI Cologne and Kunstverein Düsseldorf (Project Space).

His artist-in-residency is supported by the Goethe-Institut, Bangalore.

Last Day | Exhibition of Dolls by Francoise Bosteels - Wednesday 16th

Francoise Bosteels is an Iconic-Doll maker. She calls her dolls ‘Iconic’ because every human person in her/his unadorned humanity images the Divine. These dolls designate sacred representations and spaces. Francoise has created three books - 'The Dolls Speak', 'Through the Needle’s Eye' and 'Human Icons, Sacred Stories' - all illustrated with fantastic photographs of her dolls. Set in the right background these dolls narrate stories of people, their professions, their struggles and their beliefs. The simplicity of her creation and the complex stories that these dolls represent have had great impact on people’s life that went far beyond her own expectations. As she reveals: The Divine has taken her by surprise. At night, she creates dolls and almost disappears in what takes shape. In utter silence and solitude she searches and finds the roots of the human, the cosmic and the Divine encounter. The creative delight that she draws from this encounter bears these fruits of sacred art.
