Frank Maibier
tritt tratt
The work of Frank Maibier is characterised by a great sensitivity to material, form and writing. Paper is folded, coloured, rolled and perforated; it is strengthened and damaged in order to explore the limits of its properties. The same applies to his large sculptures in wood, steel or plastic, for which the Chemnitz-based artist develops a formal vocabulary that plays with statics and balance in a constructivist or organic manner. Maibier sharpens the eye for material structures and their inherent potential for movement. The exhibition includes works on paper, drawings, sculptures, installations and sound works from various creative phases, as well as new works developed especially for the presentation.
