The Swiss artist Sinisa Kandic is presenting his »Rolfunk 1-49« project at this exhibition. The work consists of 49 nearly identical picture objects each consisting of two sheets of glass joined together by aluminium struts. An ordering principle extending horizontally across each individual piece and involving slender colour fields divides up each of the two glass panes. Every individual picture in the series is simultaneously a unique one-off and also part of the larger, overriding idea. The artist already drew up the concept for it in 1997, which once completed and sold would culminate in a museum presentation of all 49 works that go to make up the whole. His interest throughout the creation of the works was directed on the one hand to the effect that a large number of similar visual objects have in colour theory terms, and on the other hand to an aspect that accompanies artistic production but normally goes unnoticed in the art system: What happens to the artworks once they have been sold? Do visual preferences say anything about a collector? And are collectors who buy almost identical pictures also similar with regard to their personality structures? For this reason the artist will not simply bring together all 49 examples of the »Rolfunk« series he has made over the last ten or so years, but also unite all of the collectors in a kind of happening here in the exhibition. Perhaps this will also lead to NEW FRIENDS.
