´A chair has a concrete use´
by Goro Tronsmo and Laida Aguirre
CONCRETE UTOPIAS is an exhibition that provides a space for artistic works that explore the area of potentiality between "not-yet-realized" and "but possible". The art on display shows visions that are predominantly about the Now, offering playful alternatives and new approaches to socio-cultural questions, addressing political power structures in an urban environment and above all defying rules.
The finissage will take place inside ‘A chair has a concrete use’ a piece by two of the participating artists, Goro Tronsmo and Laida Aguirre, located in the back room of the exhibition. Throughout the exhibition period, this space has been referred to as the ´green room’ representing a structural core that made the exhibition processes in the front of the house possible. To embody the art market functions that occur behind the scenes, they developed the space as the machine, made a twofold extraction: on the one hand, the curatorial statement as situation, and on the other, the landmark functionalist architecture of Altes Post as site.
They developed an architectural script that holds the following functions: office, bedroom, dining, meeting, art dealing and hanging out. Throughout the exhibition period the space has been used by the organizers and various artists as studio, film set, for dinner parties, and as a bedroom for artists in need of a place to stay in Berlin.
Their work also questions the familiarity of traditional domestic spaces and our immediate intuitions of their use. For the finissage they are working with light to further this questioning by re-imagining a version of these domestic spaces.
----
CONCRETE UTOPIAS is the first group exhibition by Realismus Club, a platform for contemporary art production in Berlin with the goal of promoting recent artistic developments and presenting them to a broader public.
Goro Tronsmo and Laida Aguirre’s collaboration is an ongoing architectural research project that extracts and stages institutional structures through architectural installations in the given context.
