Werner Feiersinger, Sculpture

The work of Werner Feiersinger (b. Brixlegg, Austria, 1966) flirts with the status of designer object or architectural model, with the formal language of modernism and minimal art, without being absorbed by them. He is interested in disruptions and contradictions. His sculptures seem to imply an obvious use; they evoke associations of tools or mass-produced items until they turn out to be utterly non-functional. This book introduces Feiersinger's recent work and elucidates his concern with questions of singularity, the relationship between object and space, and artistic manufacture in comparison to industrial production."-
