Summary
Uli Aigner's art is a proposal to the view to enter into a dialogue with her works and projects and to become immersed in the universal social space the artist opens. This extensive social claim makes itself explicit in the work One Million, in which the artist has set out to produce one million porcelain vessels and distribute them around the globe - a claim that seems to reduce itself to absurdity from the get-go. How could a single person produce so many objects in her limited lifetime? But suddenly we have clear sight on the possibilities of meaningful symbolic work in an open future. Aigner also confronts viewers with the partly oversize colored-crayon drawings of the series Open Shape, which depict distorted vases that often defy the laws of geometry and whose surfaces feature ornamental forms and daring color combinations.
