ARTICLES

Franz West - Galerie Gisela Capitain exhibition featuring Tamuna Sirbiladze
By Astrid Wege

Franz West's exhibition "Plakatentwurfe"(Poster designs) began with instructions from the artist: "As in my earlier PaBstucke," West states in a wall work directly next to the entrance, "the designs are not merely for reception but rather for interaction." At once both invitation and interpretation, his introduction marks a shift in emphasis.

The PaBstucke--amorphously suggestive hybrids between sculpture, prosthetics, and cult objects--shed light, by virtue of their various use-possibilities, on the relationship between art object and recipient; the "Poster Designs," 2000--works on paper, wood, and foam that refer to the current show as well as to past exhibitions by West and his friends--make reference more to the gallery space. They are intended to provoke a different relationship between artwork, exhibition space, and recipient--an agenda West shares with the various artistic endeavors to undermine or reconfigure the conventional white cube and the conditions of reception that it implies, but which he pursues with his own sense of irony.

The entry room showed, in West's words, two "examples of hanging methods": Organized in groups of three or four, in one case the works were hung from the top edge of the wall; in the adjoining room some were placed on the floor, leaning against a wall "specifically prepared for that purpose" by Georgian artist Tamuna Sirbiladze. The installation was completed with a circular seat-sculpture in the middle of the room. With its reference to the seating provided in nineteenth-century museums, and despite its ambivalent status between art-object and use-object, Puf functioned as a reminder of a contemplative approach to art and thus stood in counterpoint to the possibility of rearranging the works--an invitation the gallerist underscored by pointing out the gloves laid out for that purpose.
