Florian Slotawa - Profile

Florian Slotawa (b. 1972) is a Berlin-based conceptual artist who, in a conscious refrain from adding objects to an already overflowing world, utilizes everyday items, existing objects and spaces to create temporary sculptural assemblages and installations that invite discussions about the contexts and implications of institutional display, the boundaries between private and public space and notions of artistic preciousness. Many of Slotawa's past projects involved his own personal possessions--from meticulously photographing and cataloguing his clothing, cassette tapes, cooking utensils, and other items; to constructing large-scale referential sculpture from his furniture and electrical appliances; to even selling the entire inventory of his belongings to a collector. Similarly, Slotawa has worked with art collectors and museum staff to display their respective belongings as installations or reconstructions of spaces within institutions (for example, in one project, a curator's home furnishings replaced those in the museum shop, and in another, museum gallery and office spaces were switched). Dismissing objects' traditional functions, he liberates them from a closed system of interpretation, thereby revealing their latent artistic potential, a strategy which he has also extended to the exhibition space.
