 Andreas Korte Sculpture for a Park Deutschland 2000, 120’ The project was developed for a park in Viersen (near Moenchengladbach, Germany). It is a large sculpture in stainless steel that depicts schematically a large room with four entrances. The work reminds of wireframe renderings in \par software for architects. The exhibition in the Staedtische Galerie, Viersen featured models, computer prints and a video with a computer animation. The video starts with a flight around the area, in the following scenes the viewer moves right into the sculpture, turns around and then leaves it. The sculpture for a park defines with the simpliest means a space for encounters, recreation and the enjoyment of nature. Andreas Korte, born 1969 in Agsburg, studied art at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Jan Dibbets and Gerhard Merz. In 1996 he received the travel-scholarship of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1998 he received the German Art Prize for painting from the V&R bank and in 2000 the Prize for steel sculpture NRW. Since 1996 he showed his works in numerous exhibitions in galeries and museums, such as the Lukas&Hoffmann Gallery, in Cologne, the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Kunstverein Heidelberg, the Haus der Kunst, München. The work of Andreas Korte is situated between art, architecture and new media. His installations and projects for public space are derived from an intensive preoccupation with today`s urban situations, including also the internet and computer games. His internetmuseum MMKI (www.mmki.de) or the Sculpture for a park (both completed in 2000) let the viewer enter contemporary virtual rooms and are simultaneously reminiscent of american minimalist artists, such as Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt and Dan Graham. Thus, the projects of Andreas Korte are a combination of the structural clarity of the sixties with the new media-generated images of our time. |
