2007

spontaneous, impulsive acceleration, like the stroke of an axe or a brush. searching constantly for what is new, forwards, on and on. and yet lingering in the instant, exploring the motion in the moment.

henry moore right at the beginning, giacometti, and then flavin, naumann, judd, the effort to concentrate and minimalize. to find a concept or, like tinguely, to get high on the drive. turning texts and typography into light, recognizing messages and patterns, forming and densifying networks.

from architecture comes the impetus to plan, from design comes the object-like, and art is where craftsmanship and the spiritual are located. mixed media, wood and light, typography and aluminium, industrial production and original.and, in the now, the questions as to constants and variables.

“arthropodium”, modular sculptures in discourse and “weiss beschleunigt” ("white accelerated"), wind, light and a wooden bench. rest in motion for the moment.

 

berlin/hannover 2007, franz betz

 

a big 'thank you' to claudia zölsch
for the words "motion" and "moment".
