About
Visitors to exhibitions in the 1960s were confronted with new materials such as perspex, aluminum, plywood, PVC film, steel, automotive paint, cardboard, cotton fabrics and rough-cut stone slabs. Thus, the demand for de-individualization, objectification and democratization is often formulated on the material level with a shock effect. Ideologically biased materials and techniques - pedestals, cast bronze, canvas, frames - were replaced by mass-produced goods. The tour attempts to uncover various symbolic implications of the new materials.
