FRAGMENTS OF SPHERE

PYLON-Lab is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition FRAGMENTS OF SPHERE, presenting works by David Claerbout, Cyprien Gaillard and Bill Viola.

The exhibition is in collaboration with the Amsterdam based art space Project Space On The Inside and is co-curated by Annemarie Galani in collaboration with Thomas & Julia Schmelzer. The show will open on April 19th in accordance with the guidelines of the current state government ordinances. Please note our current guidelines and hygiene measures to regulate admissions down below to ensure a safe and pleasant visit.

The presented artworks of FRAGMENTS OF SPHERE exemplify the artists’ innovative approaches to using new and digital media and which explore notions of fragmentation both visually and conceptually. Included in the exhibition are works in which the four classical elements play a fundamental role. Water, earth, air, and fire were once believed to make up the entire universe—fragments of a sphere. Today, the implications of these elements are much different. When placed in the context of our changing world, they adopt a new meaning.

With this in mind, the artworks themselves seem to pose similar questions regarding the relationship between nature, technology, and the role of human beings within this dichotomy. As Earth’s landscapes continue to change, what will become of our planet? As technology continues to impact daily life, what will become of humanity?

FRAGMENTS OF SPHERE invites audiences to explore new approaches to contemporary art within the context of our digitized and changing society.
