FALKE PISANO - Rehearsal I, Take Two: Parts That Do Not Go Together

"Rehearsal I, Take Two: Parts That Do Not Go Together" continues to gradually unfold and amplify cross-readings and slow articulations within the artist's practice. Where Take One brought together collages, dismembered and fractured bodies of work, the backbone of Take Two is the grand and swirling Structure for Repetition (not Representation). This sculpture of curtains and panels spins a genealogy as it, in turn, interferes with Pisano’s constructed narratives and blocks a spatial overview of the ground floor at PRAXES.

Pisano’s Cycle, curated in collaboration with Elena Tzotzi, takes the rehearsal as its starting point, testing how the various parts of a given work series come together, carefully rearranging and recomposing their content and position. PRAXES presents a paced articulation of Pisano’s practice in three research modules—two equally long periods of on-site investigations, entitled Rehearsal I & II, and a longer stretch of simultaneously live and published semi-public/semi-private reflections, entitled Rehearsal III.
