Inside Outside 3 1979

Curator: Gerd Winner's "Inside Outside 3" presents us with a compelling interplay between interior and exterior spaces, rendered through the lens of a multi-paned window. Editor: Immediately, I'm struck by its cool, almost melancholic atmosphere. The textures are intriguing; it feels both delicate and industrial. Curator: The layering here speaks volumes. Winner blurs the lines between public and private, questioning how we perceive our surroundings and the world at large through the framework of personal experience. Think about the socio-political implications of transparency and surveillance. Editor: And consider the physical process—likely a screenprint, given the texture and the grid-like structure echoing the window itself. The artist's hand is present, yet somewhat obscured, much like the view through the glass. It’s about control and letting go of control. Curator: Precisely. The window isn't just a barrier, but a filter, shaping our understanding of the exterior. What does it mean to be both within and without? How does it impact our identity? Editor: Looking at the work now, I am thinking more about the act of looking itself, and how material processes shape our perceptions. Curator: The piece is so rich with contextual layers, and so indicative of our mediated relationship with the world. Editor: A poignant reminder of the unseen labor that goes into creating even the simplest images.
