Celosías
Part of the exhibition “TIME, SPACE, COLOR,” Kronschlaeger’s “Celosias”are an invitation to slow down and contemplate. They seduce and position the spectator in a passive role, while at the same time inciting them to actively walk through the experience of transparency and color set to a human scale. The play of tones and the raw material favored by the artist repeat themselvesin this body of work. According to the spectator’s position, they transform shape through light and color. In this way, the artwork must be walked through and experienced in its different projections.
The modular architecture of “Celosias” is a system composed of separate elements that can be connected through shape and color relationships. The beauty of this is that different “Celosias” can be added or replaced without affecting the rest of the system. This is reflected in its materiality and site possibilities: aluminum polished profiles with metallic paint makes these works function as installations, or unique pieces that can coexist both as exterior sculptures as well as architectural elements within an interior. Different proposals for configurations of “Celosias” explore environment, intimacy, and scale. The viewer reflection in the polished surface of the material also revealsthe surrounding atmosphere. The experience with Kronschlaeger’s “Celosias”and its various color configurations manifest through spontaneous architecture. The result is a consideration of the harmonious relationship between the built and natural environment.
