Triangle National and International Residency Program Welcomes Kai Schiemenz.
The sculptor Kai Schiemenz, who lives in Berlin (born 1966 in Erfurt), works with plastic space models. For some years his research has been directed at areas of social organization and projection.
Kai Schiemenz uses the infrastructure of art museums to propagate the sculptural qualities of his interior pavilions. He invites others to lectures and talks here, so the sculptures serve as objects to be viewed as well as used. As such, they can be described as “archisculptures“ that emphasize their peculiarity as forms for idea and action, combining art (concept sculpture), architecture (pavilion), and event (workshops, colloquia). His differentiated styles of presentation synthesize and take on a processual character, which raises his artistic practice above the rampant banalization of participatory concepts. He constructs paraphrases of spherical architecture and directs his intentions at face-to-face communication of a mobile and ideally egalitarian community.
