The work of Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade is elegant, rigorous, and highly experiential. With equal parts poetry and critical acumen, Kwade creates sculptures and installations that reflect on time, perception, and scientific inquiry, calling into question the systems designed to make sense of the universe. Ultimately, she seeks to draw out the mystery and absurdity of the human condition, heightening our powers of self-reflection. For The Met, Kwade has created ParaPivot I and II, a pair of sculptures with nine massive stone spheres floating in apparent weightlessness in large, intersecting steel frames. This sculptural ballet evokes a miniature solar system, a piece of space that has settled temporarily on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. This book, the first on Kwade’s work published in the United States, includes an insightful essay on her practice by curator Kelly Baum and a revealing interview with the artist by Sheena Wagstaff. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

One of the most prominent artists of her generation Berlin-based Alicja Kwade (*1979, Katowice, Poland) has garnered international attention during the last decade, securing herself a leading position on the international contemporary art scene. In Aporie is the first monograph on Kwade covering a wide range of her intriguing works. Being 'In Aporie' is to be in a state where an insoluble theoretical problem allows for the paradoxical knowledge of one's own ignorance. From early on in her career, Kwade was never afraid to ponder complicated scientific and mathematical questions in her objects, sculptures, and installations, such as probability calculation, astronomical wormholes, the endless universe, and parallel realities. And these complex ideas and theories continue to fuel her artistic practice and drive. Besides many images of her work, the monograph features articles by Danish experts on her work.

Die Wahrnehmung von Zeit und von ökonomischen Prozessen In ihren Skulpturen, Videoarbeiten und Installationen thematisiert Alicja Kwade (geb. 1979 in Kattowitz, Polen, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) ökonomische, wissenschaftliche und soziokulturelle Systeme und deren unsichere Beschaffenheit: Die Künstlerin verfolgt zum Beispiel die Bewegung des Geldes auf den Finanzmärkten, die auf Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Prognosen basiert und stets ein Maß an Risikobereitschaft erfordert. Sie reflektiert ebenso das Phänomen Zeit als elementare Konstante, die nur in wechselnden Relationen zu verstehen ist. Das Werk von Alicja Kwade ist dabei selbst ein offenes System: Durch Verwandlung, Spiegelung, Doppelung und Vervielfältigung von Materialien und Gegenständen entwickelt sie realistische Fiktionen, die erstaunen, verwundern und Fragen in Hinblick auf Funktionszusammenhänge und Wertvorstellungen aufwerfen. Motive wie Uhr, Spiegel, Stein, Lampe, Licht, Materialflächen und (Porzellan-)Figuren kehren in ihren Installationen immer wieder. Sie bringen ihre eigene Zeitlichkeit mit und verweisen zugleich auf eine traditionsreiche, kunsthistorische Ikonografie. "Grad der Gewissheit" ist Alicja Kwades dritte Monografie bei Distanz, mit Texten von Sylvia Martin, Vanessa Joan Müller und Robin Schuldenfrei.

Few positions in art currently attract more attention than the works of the young sculptor Alicja Kwade (b. Katowice, 1979; lives and works in Berlin). They show how easy it would be to lift our construction of reality off its hinges. In her installations, objects, and photographs, experiments in philosophical thought take concrete shape, reminding us that we cannot understand everything. The texts in this book are likewise unusual: in addition to an introduction by the art historian Eveline Suter, it includes an essay by Alicja Kwade's mother, the biologist Elisabeth Kwade, about why artists are different, and the well-known furniture maker and author Rafael Horzon contributes a jester's play.

Polish-born and Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade's most recent installation at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt takes as its inspiration the pendulum experiments of the nineteenth-century French physicist Léon Foucault, which provided evidence of Earth's rotation. A series of quasi-scientific set-ups installed in the Schirn Rotunda, Kwade's works superimpose established scientific knowledge and paradoxical social realities, resulting in a playful commentary on the transformation of space and the true movement of time. The latest volume in a series of publications in cooperation with the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, this volume presents a detailed look at this complex work by a captivating, internationally acclaimed artist.

Revealing the invisible in the visible is one of the special talents of Alicja Kwade (b. Katowice, Poland, 1979; lives and works in Berlin). Pebbles polished like diamonds, a euro-pallet painted and buffed to a high gloss, a mountain of ground-up shampagne bottles, or charcoal briquettes that resemble bars of gold. Kwade plays with the viewer's imagination, activating it with her discreet but nonetheless perplexing shifts in everyday standards: one has to look precisely to avoid making false assessments. This first monograph by Alicja Kwade is accompanied by essays by Kirsty Bell and Kathrin Meyer and an interve with the artist by Katja Schroeder.
