"Fünf oder sechs einfache Sachen"

9 February 2013, 4–8.30pm

Five demonstrations on Sculpture, Property and Value/s. How you arrive at wanting something to stay with you and by which means it does so.

The first five demonstrations consider sculpture and sculpture’s value and worth. The title, Five Easy Pieces, is borrowed from the Bob Rafelson film released in 1970.

The etymology of the term sculpture comes from the Latin word “sculpere” which means “to carve” or to “chisel away pieces of stone”. Practice ensured that this etymologically specific term was extended to include materials besides stone and methods other than “carving” or “chiselling”. Jochen Dehn addresses this artistic technique with the same preconceptions as those conveyed by the collective unconscious: sculpture as a physical, noble and spectacular practice.

Value is “the worth of an object that can be traded and sold, in particular its price in money”, but it’s also the “the quality that meets the conditions required for it to be worthwhile”. These two senses of value must be taken into account when speculating about the value of a sculpture, or an object that was or will become a sculpture. Jochen Dehn has selected five objects; a hole dug out in the Lot; a bird’s nest; a lump of asphalt; a step by Mark Geffriaud and a defaced public sculpture. Five objects whose use is obvious that already existed somewhere prior to their transformation by Jochen Dehn into obstacles inside the gallery. And that’s where the story starts. Jochen Dehn will not shun collapses, setbacks and obstructions. He will render tangible a place, a gesture and a form. And the public is cordially invited to this demonstration.
