Riegelbau #11. Wood, paint. 384x371x21 mm

Riegelbau is a series of wall works that are based on half timbered houses I saw during visits to Switzerland in 2010. They are some of the first in a larger body of work spanning from 2009 until 2020 which focuses on support structures, and how the shape of these have changed alongside a technological development which also has great implications for the workers involved in the making of houses and things.

This second group of sculptures was made for the solo exhibition Statics at Bergen Kunsthall/ NO.5 in 2012.
