Peter Weber's folded objects made of felt, paper and other materials shown in the exhibition appeal to the tactile sensibilities of their viewers, as do Martin Willing's swinging metal sculptures.
"Peter Weber’s pictorial objects invite us to run our finger tips over them. The works of Martin Willing have to be set into motion by an impulse from outside for their artistic intention to unfold, whether by the hands of the viewer or by the wind. Occasionally, a barely noticeable whiff of air is sufficient. (...) The creation of the former artist’s pictorial objects and the latter’s spatial forms rely on thorough planning and calculation as well as exact execution. At the same time they are of exceptional aesthetic quality. Not only do they embody beauty but also something like the essence of beauty: absolute formal structural laws, clarity of thought and, as some believe, a visual equivalent of what “holds the universe together at its core.”
Prof. Klaus Honnef
