Space and artwork come together - 'Waves V'
Artist Helene Huemer works on three different artistic
fields: paper installations, ceramic sculptures and lithography artprints. Her
vision of an artwork goes hand in hand with the materiality of the raw material
and the architecture around herself. Helene Huemer materializes her ideas for
eternity with fired ceramics and on the other hand for transiency with fragile
paper. She creates multilayered compositions and atmospheric artwork: A breath
of air made the series of artworks like ‘Waves I - III’ with industrial paper
and ‘touch me II’ with lightweight lucent paper in a niche for the recipient complete.
Passing the artists paper installations creates soft movement and silent sound.
‘Waves V - Distortion’ is part of a series of
six room-high paper sculptures. Two layers of unbleached kraft paper in the
size of 3,6 x 2 meters, sliced hundreds of times and fixed on the wall. Like a
filament, a ball of paper stripes is expanding into the exhibition space.The installations ‘Waves I –
Waves VI’ are especially developed and prepared for the gallery space of
Austrian Museum of Papermaking and Old Factory called ‘Papiermachermuseum
Steyrermühl’ in Laakirchen, Austria. The artist Helene Huemer transformed
industrial paper reels of Austrian paper factories into impressive time-limited
paper works. The river called Traun is still floating under the artspace and
makes an overwhelming soundscape.
Helene Huemer is watching out for new architecture to spread
‘Waves’ at another exhibition space: Perfect artwork for Arte Laguna at the
breathtaking location of the Arsenale of Venice.
