"Ayse Erkmen: Hausgenossen on View at Kunstsammlung Nordhrein-Westfalen
DUSSELDORF.- The Istanbul and Berlin based artist Ayşe Erkmen has arranged a further location-specific installation for the large area beneath K21’s glass cupola. She focused on the room’s shell by weaving a textile structure into the roof’s steel construction.
Large coloured panels of material trace the building’s basic lines – rather like an architectural survey. Erkmen’s choice of a course between architectural integration and an autonomous artistic gesture both literally and figuratively places this work in an intermediate zone. The textile structure does not only subtly change the light and the room’s colours, it also puts the dominance of technology into perspective thus creating a new “room climate”."
