Statement / Synopsis
Some honey runs out of my mouth. Horizontal. And back. Looking for existance.
The investigation of positioning the individual is a central task in the work of Roland Wegerer. For this he
dives deeply into the daily life of everyone. Rituals, practices and preferences are recorded and get examinated
on their qualities. He uses familiar objects in distorted ways, turns action sequences backwards
or focuses details of the human body to intervene in socially formed structures.
From the collective society, he uses pattern numerous associations. There are the relations of man to his
surroundings and the experience of daily life (breathing, chewing, sleeping, etc.) he is interested in. In
all his work Wegerer shows processual what the average quantity of sculptural quality emerges is when
a human being confrontational meets on a material or an element (dust, air, water, etc.). He goes from
an expanded notion of sculpture. The interest is not the formal product, the object itself, nor its aesthetics.
To create a work of art can also be just an ordinary stand out against its logical context, words and
meaning attached to the outside of the narrow range of the visible stem.
The search for the position and the role of an artist in society, the treatment of current and enduring issues
and attempts to answer them driving Roland Wegerer work forward.
