BALICE HERTLING / RETO PULFER- DIE KAMMERN DES ZUSTANDS

Balice Hertling presents “Die Kammern des Zustands”, the first solo exhibition in Greece of the Swiss artist Reto Pulfer (Bern, 1981).
Reto Pulfer sums his conceptual interest in the idea of “Zustand”, which could be translated as “the state of something in a specific moment”, “situation” or “mood”. “A Zustand is complete in itself but it’s stable just for a limited time, as these spaces”, tells Reto Pulfer. The artist will use the pre-existing architectural spaces of the building as containers, installing two-dimensional and tridimensional works. He Will divide the spaces into levels that identify different environments in which the visitor follows a conceptual path that ends with the final “state of mind”.
A sculpture, an installation or a performance of Reto Pulfer is conceived according to artist’s personal rules even if public can freely interpret it. The titles of the artworks provide technical information about their composition and the function. “Reto Pulfer’s works are in the middle between a rebus and an index. Their assemblage reflects the interest of the artist for the language intended as a series of structures that regulate the communication. Moving an element from a point to another modifies dramatically the meaning of a particular thing.”.
