Believing in the revolution. Hammering nails. Scrubbing the floor. Being really pissed off. Acting in solidarity. Having no time left for protest. Working on memory. Looking for the shredder. Finding barriers. Crying. Eating together. Bathing blue stones. Talking, talking, talking. Filming an artist at work. Making poles for protest banners. Glueing fallen plastic plates back in place. Lighting a fire. Two years ago we set out to work on the exhibition series MY WORKING WILL BE THE WORK. on self/care, labour and solidarity. Filmmaker Alexandra Weltz-Rombach documented the work in and around the exhibition series and interviewed many artists at Galerie im Turm.

OPENING JULY 8TH AT DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM: DANIEL HÖLZL: GROUNDED

DANIEL HÖLZL (b. 1994 in Schwaz, Austria; lives and works in Berlin) presents an immersive and architectural installation that extends across the entire gallery space. In the entrance area, the wingless skeleton of a model DA42-VI aircraft is installed nose-down, suspended diagonally from the ceiling. Titled END-OF-LIFE cycle one, the piece points to the descent of the downstairs gallery space. A sprawling floor installation, END-OF-LIFE cycle two, that is composed of 100 percent recycled carbon fiber and paraffin wax covers the exhibition floor; it is a fragmentary to-scale visual transfer of the decommissioned runway at Tempelhof airport, Berlin. Daniel Hölzl’s debut solo exhibition, is permeated with carbon and wax, crucial substances in the structure and operations of human technologies such as aviation…These materials find their way into Hölzl’s works through a series of wax paintings on carbon fiber, ready-made components, and sculptural parts, all of which are in some way extracted from the aviation industry and connected to notions of being grounded.
