Via Lewandowsky
Tausendunderstes Nachtschränkchen
seit dem 25. August 2011

Art must transcend boundaries. The spiritual cannot be closed off or walled in - it will always find ways to break free. This power to break through can be seen on the façade of a house in Arnsberg.

Our everyday life is a central source of inspiration for the artist Via Lewandowsky, whose actions and interventions ensure that this everyday life remains exciting. A classic 1950s Baroque television chest of drawers has made a breakthrough and leans out of the façade of the Dentia dental practice (Zum Schutzenhof 6) in Arnsberg.

This chest of drawers lives as a sculpture in two dimensions: in private and public space. With its immaterial intermediate state, it opens up a third level full of possibilities and associations. The narrative begins here with a look upwards: where gravity loses its power, art begins.

Via Lewandowsky was born in Dresden in 1963 and lives in Rome and Berlin. In 2011, Lewandowsky won the Villa Massimo scholarship in Rome.

The project was realized with the kind support of Schreinerei Beleke.
