Olivier Hölzl
Exhibition 16.10. - 07.11.2020
curated by Georgij Melnikov
Towers, from the royal society of putting things on top of other things, to the ancient human tribes who dared to challenge god and nature, to toddlers exploring the world of cubes and physics, the urge to build a tower is ancient and deeply embedded in human nature, culture and history.
Bricks, stones, sticks, may be bones, build, cells, walls, stairs, oppose the holes, rise and shine, in the sky, to fall eventually down in the dawn of time. On the taro card or on a postcard, in a fairy tale or the old testament, in the middle age or the turbo-capitalist doomsday's you just cant get enough of TOWERS!
