This annual edition of the Villa Romana Prize shows artists Flaka Haliti, Nico Joana Weber, Jonas Weichsel and Stefan Vogel as the winners of 2016. The collective catalogue shows works from the artists’ Florentine fellowship period.
Flaka Haliti addresses the consequences of authoritarian interference, boundaries and marginalisation. Provocative sculptures- metal rods, IKEA bags, marble blocks- reposition the gaze by igniting discussions between image and power.
Nico Joana Weber’s photographic essay explores exclusion and ornament, nature as design, as she refers to Le Corbusier’s Architectural Promenade through observation of and movement in the structure. She asks how urban space and art historical details can communicate with human nature and vegetation. Or maybe, how can they protect themselves from these forces?
Jonas Weichsel suggests 3D space through geometric abstract painting. A range of precise lines and minimal forms made up of interference colours composes a space that cannot be digitally achieved.
A series of photographs and collages presents Stefan Vogel’s quest for conflict between abstraction and everyday life, representation and worthlessness. Pots and pans, MDF, grass and electricity cables are just some of the objects at the forefront of his work.
