Katinka Bock

Since the early 2000s, Katinka Bock (b. 1976, Frankfurt am Main) has been developing a sculptural practice that is intimately linked to questions of space, time and material.

With a sharply bordered, paper-thin area of sand and the solid body of a wooden stele of anthropomorphous appearance, she generates a silent landscape that is given a narrative undertone by the title Atlantic, Personne (2012).

The sculpture Kalender (Calendar, 2018) emphasises the durational aspect of Katinka Bock's work. The work exists in several versions, each varying in colour and the quantity of unique, glazed ceramic cubes resembling cobblestones. This fifty-part iteration, glazed with bleu de Sevres glaze, forms a line along a wall which is altered on a daily basis, translating the advance of time into a movement in space. Each day, one stone is carried from one end of the line to the other, so that the sculpture moves slowly through the space during the period that it is exhibited.
