For its third exhibition,
G10 invites Pia Litzenberger to present an experimental and expansive installation. With a large exhibition project, Litzenberger creates
a space within a space in which the fields of graphics, sculpture, sound, video and performance intertwine. In this cross-genre exhibition ceramics, textiles and video generate a dynamic interplay of forms and media.
In her:his artistic process, Litzenberger removes objects from their original contexts and assembles them in new environments. The keynote of the exhi- bition in G10 is formed by several flutes that appear in stylised animal forms distributed around the room. These pottery musical instruments, in the form of commercial plush teddy bears and pigs, create tones of varying depths. The muffled sounds pulsate through the room like invisible waves and get entangled in the other elements of the installation. Abstracted, simplified con- tours of the flutes are printed on the carpet squares on the table surface. These black shapes appear in a recur- ring rhythm that carries on the beat of the exhibition. Two video works present the use of the tone flutes in a performance by Chan Sperle and Pia Litzenberger, in which different frequencies are experimented in public space. G10 is thus transformed into a polyphonic sound space through the presence of the instruments.
Pia Litzenberger (*1995 in Cologne) completed her:his studies of Fine Arts in 2020 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Franka Hörnschemeyer. Her:his work has been part of several group exhibitions, including the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck (2021), K21 Düsseldorf (2021), Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2017), Museum Weserburg in Bremen (2017) and Kunstpalast Düsseldorf (2017). Litzenberger has also been awarded the Förderpreis für Absolventinnen der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, the BMBF Deutschlandstipendium and the Promos DAAD Scholarship.
