NOME Gallery is pleased to open "Bits and Pieces", Nils Völker’s latest solo
show, on 11 March 2016.
"Bits and Pieces" transforms the gallery into a space of poetic performance
through the choreographic movements of ordinary objects. The organic rhythms of
the sculpture allow for a new language to emerge that influences how we come to
understand the functions of everyday, disregarded objects. As writer and
curator Sabin Bors suggests, a space for experimentation emerges: “The
subliminal world of gestures and unmotivated actions creates a choreographic
terrain to explore, one in which viewers can also reflect upon the relations
they establish, perform and interact with.”
The exhibition consists of a single sculpture made out of 108 motorized spheres
that open and close in orchestrated rhythms. The floating, colorful everyday
objects merge into a single entity, an almost living organism that modulates,
attempting to find a poetic balance between space, electricity and
relationships. The movements generate a tension between the planned and the
accidental, with each new variation opening up possibilities for
interpretation. The sculptural presence draws attention away from the technical
underpinnings of the finite object to a world of imaginative motional processes.
Nils Völker has been commissioned to create site-specific works by the Taipei
Fine Arts Museum, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts
in Taipei, Gewerbemuseum Winterthur, MUDAC Lausanne, Kunstmuseum Celle, and the
OÖ Kulturquartier in Linz. Völker’s works are included in the collections of
the Kunstmuseum Celle mit Sammlung Robert Simon, Celle (Germany), and the
Fourth West Lake International Invitational Sculpture Exhibition, Hangzhou
(China); his most recent solo show was presented at M0Bi, The Netherlands in
2015.
