Bettina Buck: Finding Form

The sculptor Bettina Buck (1974-2017) called attention to herself with her " performative sculptures," which she often presented vis-à -vis museal objects. Buck's preferred materials came from the hardware store: corrugated cardboard, ceramic tiles, pressed foam, or plastic foil, which are all not meant to last. Out of these materials she created a kind of changeable and transient " protagonists," who didn't have a final form but rather emphasized the actual process of finding form (as well as losing form). Buck herself said that her works were meant to " simultaneously attract and alienate the viewer." In the exhibition space the objects should " create a tremor, a vibration and a conversation with its surroundings." . Finding Form presents Bucks complete sculptural works.
