New project by the artist Monika von Eschenbach.
Shaping our present and future
In February 2024, the renowned artist Monika von Eschenbach presents a fascinating new project with an impressive spatial staging at the ArtSpace Grevy! in Cologne. Under the title "Deconstruction and Reconstruction of the World," she leverages her extensive experience as an artist and architect to unite innovative methods of destruction and construction.
A artistic response to global upheavals
Monika von Eschenbach sees her project as a symbolic act aimed at bringing political and cultural upheavals back into collective consciousness after the events of September 11, 2001. By intertwining personal experiences as an architect with significant historical events such as the reconstruction of the World Trade Center in New York, she creates a multifaceted reflection on the present and future of our society.
Premiere of a groundbreaking exhibition in Cologne: "Deconstruction and Reconstruction of the World"
With her project, Monika von Eschenbach pushes the boundaries of her art by shaping image information into a mobile object and interweaving it with performance dance and music to create a captivating atmosphere. This unconventional approach allows her to create surprising moments with diverse aesthetic statements, encouraging visitors to reflect deeply.
An extraordinary sensory experience
By portraying the duality between reality and fiction, Monika von Eschenbach invites viewers to form and reflect on their own images. The project marks the beginning of a planned series of presentations and will be complemented by an accompanying film and a graphic portfolio to be released later by ArtForum Editions.
The importance of space and humanity
The WTC- project "Destruction and Reconstruction" is supported by Winter Stiftung Hamburg in corporation with Artforum Culture Foundation.
The presentation takes place within the framework of the group program "Somewhere," which highlights the mutual influence of humans and space. Here, architecture is not only seen as a functional necessity but as an expression of worldviews and individual life journeys.
In context of group exhibition "Somewhere"
In addition to Monika von Eschenbach, other artists participate in the exhibition "Somewhere," including Helmut Brandt, Renate Geiter, Katja Kempe, Ursula Krenzler, and Dietmar Tessmann.
