About the product
The artistic praxis of Eva Berendes looks at the conditions under which we see an image as an object or an object as an image. A recurring format in her work is the “screen.” The artist designs “screens” which can be freestanding, suspended from the ceiling or leaning against the wall. She sees these open structures as the interface between different contexts and meanings in which the categories of assemblage, still life, relief, display, furniture design, everyday object, arts and crafts, minimalism and postmodernism have been brought to bear.
The catalog, published on the occasion of “Plaza,” Berendes’ solo show at Städtische Galerie Waldkraiburg, uses this as a starting point to investigate how the artist’s work has developed over the past ten years. In collaboration with graphic designer Adeline Morlon the artist designs a graphic pattern – which usually acts as an invisible placement aid – as a visible design element that transcends the catalog’s appearance and contents. As is so often the case with Berendes’ work, here too the artist transforms a structuring element into part of the catalog’s pictorial contents.
