RAPPORT
Press Conference: 15.09.2011, 11 am
Opening: 15.9.2011, 7 pm
The exhibition "RAPPORT. Experimental Spatial Structures" offers new insights into the interdisciplinary approach of the architectural office J. MAYER H. For the first time J. MAYER H. has developed a walk-in installation for the museum's 10-metre high entrance area. Walls and floor are clad in carpeting on which data security patterns are printed in black and grey. The work's space-consuming concept negates the strict geometry of the entrance hall. The considerably enlarged, repeating patterns produce a flickering impression and transform the white cube into a playful scenario of interpermeating forms and structures. Supplementary three-dimensional models translate the two-dimensional patterns into concrete forms.
The title "Rapport" is intended to be ambiguous. As a specialist German-language term from textile manufacturing, it refers to the serial pattern of the installation. On the other hand, in the military field the term "Rapport" means a "dispatch", while in psychology it describes a human relationship in which those involved convey something to the others. In this sense it also refers to the starting material of the installation: data security patterns, which are used, for example, on the inside of envelopes. In this case, they stand for confidential communication between two parties.
A catalogue will be appearing for the exhibition, including a list of selected exhibitions and works by the architect, as well as explanatory texts by Thomas Koehler, Ursula Mueller and Georg Vrachliotis, and a biography annotated by Philip Norten.
