Hankering's Scope
Miriam Schmitz
Info: »The form of an object is the result of a construction: its making, its intended function, and the gestures through which it is used. Even after this function has ceased to exist, the form remains legible. It bears traces of its creation and use, of a particular time, a certain taste, and a notion of how things are made and how they should relate to one another. This is where Miriam Schmitz begins. Her assemblages are created from found furniture parts and everyday objects whose origins need not be established in order for their materiality and former purpose to be recognized. Furniture and objects function here as general signs: we recognize their forms, recall their functions, and associate them with our own experiences. These things are familiar, essentially universally intelligible. They form a visual vocabulary whose signs we are able to read.«
