MARIANNE LOVINK: SCHEMATASchemataMarch 2005
Schemata is an exhibition of new suspended sculptures comprised of hand-formed sprung steel wire and translucent “skins” of resin-coated paper, reference the graphic language of signs, symbols, diagrams, maps, structures and systems that serve as pervasive visual code in our modern consciousness. The elements of each piece are presented in groupings; each one suggesting a possible solution to a hypothetical problem. They are curious organic machines, reminiscent of scientific models, which quietly defy interpretation.
