Karla Black

Karla Black‘s artistic practice moves skilfully between worlds: She arranges her sculptural works into extraordinary spatial experiences. The range of her materials seems almost endless, as she not only draws on traditional art materials such as acrylic paint, pigment or plaster, but also incorporates any materials from everyday life that serve her purpose, such as plastic film, soap, make-up or cotton wool. In this unconventional practice, the Scottish artist (born in 1972) takes up the meanings and traditions inherent in the materials and affords us a special opportunity to see ourselves reflected in them.

For the exhibition in the former assembly hall of Kunstraum Dornbirn, Black has designed a site-specific compilation of her previous and new sculptures that incorporates both the special lighting of the space and its monumental dimensions.
