Katinka Bock
Lecture at Symposium: Red Threads Loose Ends
17 October 2024
Katinka Bock’s work is rooted in a discursive thought of sculpture and language. The shape is often a result of a working process where the rational and the unforeseen meet each other. She develops a body of work in sculpture, installation and photography that dialogues with architecture, uses and environments. She creates dialogues between materials, their stories and those of the encountered contexts. She takes care of the balances and imbalances of spaces and atmospheres, fully integrating the dimension of scenography into her work.
Each of her installations defines a space and often seems to wrestle against the claustrophobia of the exhibition spaces; tending to open doors, windows, walls, holes by which to escape, or to let in rain or air.
