Medwegweg 3
Vienna, Austria




Before I started my sculpture studies, I went
to see an eye doctor. I knew since childhood that due to my strabismus (bong
eyes) I am not able to perceive spatial depth. I wanted to know what this would
mean for my future sculptural practice. When I had to look at the board of the
Lang-Stereotest, depicting simple objects (a star, a cat, a car), all I saw was
image noise.
For Fixing my Gazefive artists are investigating the borders of
human perception regarding the two-, resp. three-dimensionality of their
surroundings. Starting from diverse media (print, sculpture, sound/video and
performance) they approach the interfaces of plasticity and its imitation.
Deceptively genuinematerials, such as fools gold and marble linoleum will be assembled to
a spatial illusion. During the opening and the weekly program these artificial
sceneries are going to be rearranged and used as a flexible environment for
performances. The aim is to dissolve the categories of display, installation
and stage and evaluate substance and authorship.
