carlier ⎜ gebauer is pleased to announce the second solo exhibition by German artist Asta Gröting. Creating enigmatic sculptures, Asta Gröting’s work explores the expressive properties of various materials (silicon, bronze, polyester, polyurethan) and their relationship to form through a complex system that intertwines intimacy, history and memory.

For this exhibition, Asta Gröting features three new large-scale sculptures – produced from traditional sculptural casts with material such as polyurethan – entitled: Die Reisekutsche von Goethe, Der Mercedes von Adenauer and Mein smart. The exhibition also includes two older works Space between two people having sex (2008, silicon, 77 x 52 x 106 cm) and Abformung einer Familie (2011, bronze, 56 x 90 x 90 cm), which delicately map the character and thematic development of this exhibition. These works invite the visitor to wander in the maze of memory where all the works metaphorically refer to the «human proportions» according to Asta Gröting’s words.
