Artist Statement
All my works are produced for and through - DAS INSTITUT.
(Founded as a Import/ Export agency by Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder in 2007)
Working across different media, Brätsch’s and Röder’s artistic practice develops an investigation of Abstraction and Identity. We constantly exchange, mutate and rearrange imagery, making the sequence of copy and model irrelevant.
Our collaborative platform DAS INSTITUT develops a hybrid language, which explores and reconfigures issues of authorship and de-centered forms of art-production.
Motifs and elements from Brätsch’s and Röder’s individual work wander back and forth in what we do jointly, in a to and fro of original and variation.
We are interested in: individualization and multiplication, authentication and analysis of identity.
In my individual practice, I have created two large pools of digital motifs:
“Starline - Necessary Couture” and “COMCORRÖDER”.
They are dedicated to DAS INSTITUT and serve as source for multiple variations of appearance and form.
Each series was designed with its specific graphic program. I exclusively employ tools that the programs provide, like Photoshop filters and Illustrator path tools. As pattern designs / swatches / digital sources the designs were used so far for:
Non-usable fabrics
SchröderLine – a digital knitwear collection
Dinner napkins for various collective food gatherings (one, a couple, and groups)
Wearable fabrics: Desert Capes and COMCORRÖDER scarves
DAS INSTITUT advertisements in form of propaganda on vinyl
Adjustable projections, Aluminum screens and index books
I am interested in the borderline of digital abstraction, it’s function as possible instrument on what art, fashion, and design are simultaneously capable of achieving in terms of creating models, spreading information, and conveying meaning.
The “digital bow” design, which I created in 2010 is traceable into a poster of DAS INSTITUT, where it is employed as a formal motif in the background. The poster is based on a textile I made for DAS INSTITUT. This textile arose from a pattern, that I digitally designed and which might possibly have touched moments from paintings, Kerstin Brätsch developed for DAS INSTITUT.
The bow element was launched in the THOI TRANG TRE magazine and in the Ringier Annual Report 2010 in various guises and thereby became DAS INSTITUT branding of sorts. It mutates from advertising poster to fingernail design, from a knitwear pattern to the use as a sales chart for the Ringier AG.
I use “Starline - Necessary Couture” and “COMCORRÖDER” to create your personal pattern.
Your unique piece will be made.
