Katalin Deér, present things

More about the book

Sculptor Katalin Deér's specific interest, as Max Wechsler writes in his concise essay, is geared towards crossing over the boundaries between genres, leading to new and surprising situations for perception itself. This extensively illustratedartist's book, published in conjunction with an installation with new works at the Museum Moderner Kunst Kärnten in Klagenfurt, provides an opportunity to appreciate this extraordinary artist, whose work, especially for its preoccupation with architecture, reminds critical observers of the masterfully pioneeringworks of Gordon Matta-Clark. Exploring the potential plastic dimensionality of photography and investigating the interplay between the two- and three dimensionality of the pictorial surface, she offers perception reminiscent ofcubist or constructivist experimentation. A mind-altering book.
