Folding by Numbers

a lecture by
Peter Sandbichler

„The physical composition of Sandbichler’s work addresses the relationship between form and material, overrides accepted principles and confuses the sensual and constructive material attributes of our collective memory.“ (Kathrin Aste, 2022)

In his lecture, the artist Peter Sandbichler talks about experimental sculptural arrangements that unfold from different materials in an interaction of constructive precision and the element of coincidents. The focus is on his work complexes made of paper and cardboard, in which the circular process in recycling of used materials plays just as much of a central role as the application of modular systems.

The lecture takes place for the finissage of the current exhibition Simple Nature by Takayuki Bamba.
