one more than 1o
Marlena Kudlicka explores mathematical and linguistic structures in her work, focusing on the mechanics of spatial and semantic relationships that concern communication, language, and space.
Her carefully crafted, often rigorous sculptural and relief-like constructions, for which she typically uses materials such as steel, glass, and enamel, reflect the thought processes behind patterns, systems, equations, and formulas.
For the Kestner Gesellschaft she developed two commissioned works, one on a massive and filigree looking, massive elegant wall sculpture titled one more than 1o ; and another one alike recipe with ingredients on a smaller wall.
The ‘scientific predictability,’ implied by their vocabulary, becomes a poetic dramaturgy of sculptural form.
