In an interview with Michael Kindler
AP: It seems that now you've discovered the color and painting at the moment with a brush and canvas as it began. On the other hand, ceramic sculptures, why? MK: That's a good question, I've been working on it and really see it as a necessary consequence of what I've previously made. One can not consider my work in isolation. One is always in a process context. I am interested in the processes. That's what I like in the picture somehow. The painting has more. Just the fact that a picture is always as unique, fascinates me. I think that photography as an artistic work has no meaning that mattered in the 80's. One of the reasons why I started again with paint. MK: The phenomenon of space as a theme is very long while, in theory, I have a number of references that I have encountered. It has created a line of work I enter as comments. Previous studies often have combined media, eg photographic works with installations and murals. For me it was a need to connect to the room. The content of thematic work is one thing and the relationship with space is different. Balance is an act that an artist must master. It is crucial to the overall effect over time. You could say I'm looking for a lab, I am interested in research. I'm curious. Moreover, my interest is in fact working at the facility, from the viewpoint of the topics covered photography, and painting issues and sculpture. It's a different medium. Another form of communication there is in painting, sculpture and other forms of expression. There is another way to visualize something. In the painting I like, for example, the strong personal relationship. In sculpture the interest of the artisan in the process. I think it works that you can talk about the work that we see. AP: That sounds interesting, you reinterpreted, so to speak, in terms of painting? We often talk of the laboratory experiment and what does it mean, and how you look with tradition? MK: As I was born in Germany, Europe is, without doubt, the tradition to do things, as opposed to someone who comes from America, Asia or the Arab world. There are other traditions, perhaps. I think a lot of experimentation, I would say that is my tradition, a tradition of experimentación.AP: thanks for the interview.
