JEWEL CHAIN
Aglaia Konrad’s extensive archive is richly re-sourced, dealing with urbanism, architecture, sculpture, film. Lately, her interests have focused on so called Rückbau (building backward) processes that deal “with demolition as an unavoidable aspect of progress. Rückbau as a sculptural process is a rather unique approach that allows the artist to not simply affirm demolition as an extended architectural practice, she even incorporates the physical debris as a sculptural gesture in relation to the image.
