TEAPOT Co­logne | 19. April - 16. May 2013
cur­ated by Christel Schüp­pen­hauer

Ver­haxeltes deals with the topic of func­tion­al­ity of the brain and the re­la­tion to the body in space. The in­stall­a­tions, films, draw­ings, fotos or mech­an­ic­al are space-re­lated. Mech­an­ized old pup­pet-eyes are mov­ing by chance. The floor of the space looks like net­works or space-pho­tos of the earth. A Su­per­8mm-Film about a dis­sec­tion of calf-eyes is pro­jec­ted through the win­dow into the small space. An ar­ti­fi­cial eye, the left eye of the artist, looks into the space, where­as the pos­sib­il­ity of watch­ing two Videop­er­form­ances, done in the space, through two stovepipes, give the audi­ence a feel­ing of peep­ing. An in­stall­a­tion of over 150 casts of one ver­tebra of a sheep cor­rel­ates with fra­gile draw­ings of the joints of dear-sculls. And an open­ing Per­form­ance.
