Nairy Baghramian
Beliebte Stellen/Privileged Points (2017) is part of a series of three works by artist Nairy Baghramian (b. 1971, Isfahan, Iran), which dialogues with its natural and institutional settings using different colours and volumes. The bronze sculpture covered in brush-painted, pastel-coloured lacquer has been cast in the form of an irregular open circle. Its placement highlights both specific local conditions and varying spatial relationships, while its three-dimensional twist and hanging droplet formations, which address traditional sculptural questions of mass and weightlessness, form and colour, stability and performativity, and the visible process of its production, is an invitation to the passer-by to interact. Installed at the entrance to the footbridge leading to the Mudam, Beliebte Stellen/Privileged Points is a work that is at once visual, physical and tactile, embodying the formal and conceptual concerns that have characterised the artist’s sculptures and her idea of sculpture as being necessarily dynamic.
