Martina Salzberg ∙ LUX LEVIS
13.04.2025 - 06.07.2025 ,
Studienkirche St. Joseph (Exhibition Room Church St Joseph)
People and their bodies are at the centre of Martina Salzberg's artistic work. The material artist works with textiles: "The theme of the envelope connects inside and outside, is the interface between works in surface and space, of surface and content, which is always multi-layered and ambiguous," says Salzberg. She is showing works from textile portrait series, assemblages and an expansive in-situ installation, about which art historian Dr Jenny Mues writes: "Lux levis": a directive that springs from the material? Which challenges the how, i.e. the quality, ergo the luminosity of the light. Salzberg's textile room installation points to the maximum requirement of the baroque church interior: 360 degrees by 7, splitting the colour spectrum into 210 individual parts, overlapped to the power of 2, 18 by 2 ½ by 15 metres of three-dimensionality.
