Permanent loan from Tilman Hornig to TU Dresden, art collection of the custody

[freely adapted from the text of the TU Dresden press release of 11.12.2016]:

Already in the fall of this year, the work "Folding No. 49" (2012) by the Dresden artist Tilman Hornig could be installed at the Institute for Waste and Recycling Management, TU Dresden, Pirna-Copitz.

The large-format relief "Folding No. 49" has since been on display in the representative seminar room of the institute's main building, which was renovated in 2015, and connects the exterior and interior spaces by allowing a view from the street as well.

At just under eight meters long, three meters high, and 50 centimeters deep, "Folding No. 49" presents itself in all-over format and thus occupies the entire long side of the seminar room. Convex and concave shapes form a moving surface structure, which Tilman Hornig has painted in orange, purple and pink. The three-dimensional work is part of a larger series of works.

"We are very pleased to be able to make Tilman Hornig's "Faltung" accessible to the public as a permanent loan at the Institute for Waste and Recycling Management in Pirna. His installative work is decidedly to be placed in the context of the "Falten" of the great Dresden constructivist Hermann Glöckner. By Glöckner, the "Mast with Two Folding Zones" has already been installed in front of the Neue Mensa / Fritz-Foerster-Platz on the campus of the TU Dresden since 1984."

Tilman Hornig (*1980 in Zittau), studied at the University of Fine Arts (HfBK) Dresden and was a master student of Prof. Martin Honert. The Custody of the TU Dresden will present a comprehensive show of works by the artist collective "New Scenario", aka Tilman Hornig and Paul Barsch, at the Altana Galerie in the summer semester 2017.
