MANFRED PERNICE

1 Oct-21 Nov 2010

Overview

Manfred Pernice’s practice principally involves the making of large-scale sculptural objects that evoke architectural maquettes and remnants from utilitarian architectural schemes. These are presented as part of multi-layered and complex gallery installations and as direct interventions into public spaces taking inspiration from; bus shelters, railings, public plinths and platforms – spaces that invite a gathering of people or suggest a point of departure. Pernice creates objects and sculptures that suggest themselves already existing in the material fabric of everyday life, formed of a language that is immediately and distinctively recognisable.
