Ruth Weigand - Other Thoughts

"Ruth Weigand's works elude contemporary trends and current discourses. [..] Theyappear to be divorced from time, intangible, while they are paradoxically primarilydistinguished by one aspect: their unconditional presence." (Jari Ortwig)Ruth Weigand (*1978) works across media with a focus on sculpture. She exploresphysicality, temporality, and materiality in an experimental and intuitive way. In doingso, she forms graphically organized, expansive structures of ceramics that sound outthe limits and possibilities of the material. Her half reliefs of delicately colored plasterplay with the idea of impermanence, of the fragmentary, of the trace. Ruth Weiganddevelops her own poetic, sometimes seemingly ornamental language of form, whichreveals its "magic from its implied succinct imperfection." (Jari Ortwig)"Other Thoughts" provides an overview of Ruth Weigand's work, with a focus on hersolo exhibition of the same name from 2021 in KunstWerk Köln. von Ortwig, Jari und Eichler, Dominic und Küchler, Nina Maria
