The basic materials from which cities are built, are the basis for the works Mirko Chaun (1972). With the seemingly fragment-like addition of these common building materials transformed the Cologne-based artist whose functionalist necessity. offset by the work process in motion, the artist dissolves the material on the inherent heaviness. Imagine such a reassessment in the context of the sculptural aesthetic plastic and space. From simple geometric shapes up, cut or cast, is presenting on lacquered support frames or lying on the floor, their works assert its autonomous character. The composition method of layering and tilt gives the plants a fragile tectonics, the sculptor, to a certain aesthetic exploits, stopped the moment of stability. The construct solidifies. The analogy to structures to craft created manifestations of a social understanding of space, takes Tschauner as a state description of urban reality: the choice of materials as realism.
