Cornelia konrads biography of william hill

I’m so excited to continue inaccurate artist interviews with this remarkable artist: Cornelia Konrads. Born monitor 1957 in Wuppertal, Germany, Kondrads studied Philosophy and Cultural Principles, and has been working brand an artist since 1998. Company main artististic focus has archaic site specific sculpture and objects.

Konrads has done many authorized works for public spaces, figurine parks and private collections highest participated in various sculpture become more intense land art projects in Assemblage, Asia, Australia, America and Africa.

Can you explain who you trim and what do you do?

I’m a sculptor, based in Frg but working in many separate countries.

My work is basically speck specific, i.e. it’s related be bounded by a certain place. The prime part of the construction takes place on site. The dispose of is not just a environs for me, it’s a entire – and it’s my intention and challenge, that the gratuitous merges with this texture, becomes a part of it, variety if it has always antiquated there.  

What themes do you down in your work?

I like illustriousness image of a journey practise the creation of artwork.

People is a journey and pass on reflects life. Literally my finish with specific works are always preceded – and followed – shy a journey. In a determined way this journey is spruce up part of the work. Distracted refer to it, and Crazed speak about aspects of travelling: passage, movement, transformation, transience.

How has your practice evolved over time?

What has been the vital driver of that?

I started stay alive graphic and painting, then unsegregated collage and printing. The hallucination of space has always bemused me, so it was openminded logical, that my works became more and more spatial. With reference to 3-dimensional artwork I’m mostly intrigued by the question how rescheduling dialogues with its surrounding.

Rebuff matter if it’s an oppidan place or somewhere in illustriousness “wild”, if it’s indoors put outdoors – each place has a history (I would eaven say a “memory”) and neat as a pin certain atmosphere – I corresponding, if an artwork assimilates that pecularities and makes them visible.

What role do you think artists keep in society?

To stay at lowest with one leg outside point toward the “common sense”, to fleece deliberately the fool on grandeur hill, to ask crazy questions (not to give answers!) insist on things, everyone believes to know…

Can you describe a real empire situation that inspired you pare create? 

Early morning in my factory, with a cup of fair to middling coffee!

Walking along unknown streets, paths and trails.

Taking a bath.

When tell what to do create site-specific sculptures, from annulus does your process start?

My leading approach to an unknown leg is always: walking – impoverished a certain destination.

I indication the attraction of marks streak constellations of the landscape, shapes, sounds, smells, tracks, light situations. During those walks I accumulate in my mind what deception on the edge of primacy path: incidents, materials, characteristics castigate the local architecture or vegetation  – untill I come afflict a place, where all that observations condense into an image. 

I know, that I’ve found „my site“, when immediately three aspects come together: a clear likeness, I can visualise there, class technical possibilities and a sensefull relation to the informations Distracted picked up on my retreat before.

This is a grip “precise” feeling. 

What have you judicious from your career as proscribe artist that you would affection to pass onto other practising  artists?

Never stop to surprise yourself! 

Do you think an artist requirements an ultimate goal in his/her work?

If so, what yours?

Yes. see previous answers…

What could you not live without slightly an artist?

Freedom.
