Konigsberg's
newest work combines geometry and tessellation, with architectural
depth, evoking our schematized and constructed world. An investigation
of interior and exterior space, it is a look through walls, floors,
and ceilings, revealing actual and invented structural supports,
engineering details, external views, and extensions of the existing
confines, in a pointless perspective. Using a base of sheetrock,
and in the vein of Renaissance frescos or decorative Islamic mosaics,
the work is comprised of the wall itself.
The works are on the wall for a reason; they interact with the spaces they inhabit. For color he cuts and peels away sections of sheetrock to reveal the underlying brown paper or white plaster. In addition, he employs many different colors of sheetrock which he cuts and adheres to these sections. The large works are formed either directly on and into the preexisting wall, or on separate colored sheetrock panels, which are then installed on the surface. His small works are created on panels of Sheetrock, and installed into, and flush with, the wall.
His new suite of screenprints reflects similar concerns, although in a somewhat pared-down format. |
