Christian Waldvogel. Unknown: The Orders of Randomness - Softcover
Christian Waldvogel’s work in conceptual and visual art uses a wide range of media to present the earth within the solar system, mankind within its world, and new imaginations. For an exhibition at Helmhaus Zürich, he created a three-part installation using candles, cyanobacteria, and nutrient fluid. In the first part, melting candles form globular planets over the course of the show. Through a 1,615-square-foot pool filled with nutrient fluid that serves as a habitat for cyanobacteria, the section part represents the earliest forms of life on earth. In the third part, Waldvogel places his planets within a self-conceived solar system.
Waldvogel’s story of genesis and the beginning of life on earth has been transformed into Christian Waldvogel. Unknown. Following an equally random order, Waldvogel discusses the chapters of this universal narrative with a range of experts―a cosmologist and astrophysicist, a cell biologist and gravitational researcher, a microbiologist, and an exobiologist working in planetary research―to reveal an unusual perspective on how the earth may have come into existence. Finally, the exhibition’s curator, Daniel Morgenthaler, asks what art can tell science. With nearly 150 color and black-and-white images, this book offers a new look at how art and science contribute to our view of both the world and the universe.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Christian Waldvogel, der die Schweiz 2004 an der Architekturbiennale Venedig vertreten hat, erzählt sich mit seinen Installationen in diversen Medien immer wieder durch Weltraum und Raumzeit. Für die Einzelausstellung 'unknown' im Helmhaus Zürich hat der Zürcher Künstler eine dreiteilige Installation entwickelt, in der aus schmelzenden Kerzen durch Zufallsbewegungen kugelförmige Planeten entstehen. Ausserdem verteilt er auf rund 150 qm Nährflüssigkeit, in der sich während der Ausstellung erstes Leben regt. Zum Schluss setzt der Künstler die Planeten wiederum in ein selbst entwickeltes Planetensystem ein.Für die Publikation wird diese Erzählung von der Entstehung von Planeten und dem Aufkeimen von erstem Leben in Buchform übertragen und substanziell mit Text und Bild angereichert. Der Künstler befragt in Gesprächen die jeweiligen Spezialisten für einzelne Kapitel dieser universellen Narration - und macht so aus ungewohnter Perspektive neu nachvollziehbar, wie eine Erde, wie wir sie bewohnen, entstanden sein könnte. Helmhaus-Kurator Daniel Morgenthaler fragt sich zudem in seinem Essay, was die Kunst der Wissenschaft zu erzählen hat und wie sich in beiden unser Welt- Raum generiert.
