KuratorInnenführung durch die Ausstellung "Johannes Thiel: Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing."

In the organizer's words:

With Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing., FAK26 presents the first solo exhibition by Johannes Thiel (*1999). The biomorphic sculptures by the Berlin-based artist oscillate between organic forms and man-made technology, radiating a peculiar vitality. They are reminiscent of prosthetic body fragments, biomechanical prototypes or technical devices, but are devoid of any function.

The works are modeled on the computer and are often given their physical form using automated processes such as 3D printing or laser cutting. This technological approach contrasts with the organic forms, which appear to be grown rather than artificially produced. The production processes do not remain hidden here, but become the subject of the art themselves: industrial materials such as brackets, screws and wire ropes are revealed and emphasize the artificiality of the works. The objects are reminiscent of organisms that belong to a future of technological progress.

The guided tour provides a closer look at the works of Johannes Thiel.
