Wilhelm Mundt at the Brunhilde Moll Foundation, Düsseldorf, Germany
—
Brunhilde Moll Foundation, located in the former historic residence and atelier of renowned artist Joseph Beuys, presents a solo exhibition by acclaimed sculptor Wilhelm Mundt.
Wilhelm Mundt likes to describe his sculptural works, known as “Trashstones”, as “Klumpen” (lumps), whose forms recall erratic boulders. Since the late 1980s, he has created the works from inorganic waste, compressing the material into solid forms, which are then encased in fibreglass and, in some cases, finished with paint. This group of works forms the conceptual and formal anchor of his practice, to which he refers in installations, photographs, drawings, and video works. At its core, Mundt’s work explores questions surrounding production and invention.
The exhibition ZUFLUSSREGELUNG brings together works by the artist spanning several decades of his practice. In particular, the sculptures carefully establish a relationship with the exhibition spaces, while also connecting to their original function as studio spaces.
Wilhelm Mundt, born in Grevenbroich in 1959, studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Tony Cragg, Klaus Rinke, and Irmin Kamp. He was Professor of Sculpture at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden. His works are held in numerous public and private collections in Germany and abroad.
