The archive in the worm or the mirror in the tent
heard Traveling has always been to Künstlerbiographie. Once the artist has followed the call of his Mäzene to a variety Furstenhof - today he travels to exhibitions, fairs and projects around the world. Martin Mele explicates this phenomenon to the principle of his upcoming exhibition projects.
Born in Argentina, Germany and Holland grew up, now oscillating between Dusseldorf and Buenos Aires, Meles's own biography is one of travel. The travel writing stories that Mele now carrying it with them looking like a suitcase full of memories, images, experiences and encounters. From the contents of the suitcase is always regenerating scoops, Mele inspiration for his work. Found objects, shapes and colors seen and spontaneous gestures constitute themselves into a work of most surprising presence. The principle of ready-made following, processes the artist objects and things, often of Skurilitäten Flohmärkten Trödelladen and, in his live sculptures and breathed them as a new, different life. The activity of seeking and finding are essential - I find the stuff or the things I find to Mele is always asking for the ratio to the point. Understanding the materiality as Fundstücke their own history, calls for great openness about the Mele definitely disposes. He stumbles like the fear of empty space (the blank canvas), he does not know, but rather sets the moment of the vacuum free energy that will be implemented in the work process. Accordingly, Meles exercise is quite performative. The moment of "know nothing" Beat into phase high concentration - are intuitive stuff, and materials collected, riveted and vernäht, stuffed and relocated. This leaves Martin Meles objects, a certain degree of volatility adhere - at any moment they could transform or disappear. This kind of - let's call it - vivid Konzeptualität requires a large presence on the part of Künstlerfigur. The figure of Martin Meles, his own history and his personal perception of the world around him starting and end point are his work.
moves in the current exhibition, the figure of Martin Meles once again on the road. End of February this year launched the first stage of the "archive in the worm" in Argentina. From Buenos Aires Mele went off with his trunk, to roam the land. The principle of the nomadic introspective, he was invited here and there to make a stop and realize the spot, with the available resources an exhibition. In Argentina, the project was coordinated by Andres Duprat, stations were the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes de Salta, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Rosario (MACRO), the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Neuquen, Museo Maritimo de Ushuaia.
to continue the series in Europe After the stations in Argentina. Beginning in fall 2010 Martin Mele will go out again. In planning stops in museums, art galleries and art associations and trade shows. can observe from that of access of visitors, what happens now, the exhibitions begin on the day of arrival Meles. As a subjective reaction of each new impression of a place will ever again things, materials, etc. together, and processed. The result is a presentation of site-specific works in the classical sense, but the road works there as an integral part of the final product and is therefore in the artistic Meaning exactly equivalent. The Performativität of Meles working process gets in the exhibition their situation breakwater, and the creation of the work it is just to see how her show. As a nomad Mele responded to the local refuse resources and thus find not only an authentic implementation of its operation, and is rather preconceived boundaries in question: when the matter becomes an art object? What does it mean the plant process to be made public? Where does the performance and where does the installation?
