After Albers 2 #3

2016

Brigitte Parusel's works are underlined by an emphasis on experimentation and her interest in working within the limitations of a system.

Her drawings are part of an ongoing exploration of a geometric pattern of interconnected circles. The pattern is the basis for her large-scale installations, spatial sculptures and folded works. The drawings explore the geometric relationship of the patterns components and its potential as a blueprint for constructing form, shape and structure.

Brigitte Parusel's animation 'After Albers' is based on Josef Albers' ‘Structural Constellation, Transformation of a Scheme No. 12'. She developed the animation through experimenting with code as material for the creation of artwork. By translating Albers's drawing into code the structure has been developed into a three-dimensional rotating object. The prints are stills from the animation; with added color they show two objects moving through space.
