Overview

Deep drilling by Manfred PerniceThis complex book by Manfred Pernice goes back to an exhibition at Museum Ludwig Cologne in 2007. At that time, he had combined the early work ­»Bibette Headland« (1999) with »Haldensleben« (2005), a work further developed specifically for the exhibition, and the »Hotel Hangelar« (2007), exhibited for the first time back then. These three large and, to some extent, accessible sculptures refer to the architecture of bunkers, airport towers and small town neighborhoods. Today, after a decade, it is clear that these three sculptures occupy a central ­position in the work of the artist. They illustrate Pernice's long-standing examination of the historical and socio-political contexts of ­architecture and the aesthetics of everyday life. At the same time, his sculptures, despite their references to reality and history, exist as independent objects, as ­objectification, that present themselves in a productive reciprocal relationship of the familiar and the foreign, turning aesthetic experience into insight. The book displays, for the first time, the varied text and image material of Manfred ­Pernice's research and ­presents it together with a survey of the realized works of art at Museum Ludwig Cologne.

Author Information

Manfred Pernice born 1963, lives in Berlin. It is not possible to imagine a classic or contemporary exhibition without his work, sometimes reminiscent of tubes in ephemeral conditions, especially when the focus is laid on the relationship of art and architecture. His early works invoked miniature editions of houses, that grow up permanently into huge sculptures. A critic wrote that his objects are reminiscent of the work of German architect Hans Scharoun. It seemed to him that Manfred Pernice took fragments and studies of the Berlin philharmony or the huge State Libarary in Berlin, and glued or added picture postcards to repatriate the paragons to its preliminarities.
