It’s a Little Bit Over (2019)

Kamiyama, 2019

The work, “It’s a Little Bit Over” is an interactive sculpture in the shape of a room, which the viewers can enter.
In his artistic practice, Linus Riepler often builds rooms. This work, which was developed during the KAIR residency 2019, is his interpretation of a Japanese room. Its dimensions are the same, as the living room of his temporary home here in Kamiyama.Viewers can interact with the work. By pulling handles, the interior can be changed. Through the use of pulleys, different sceneries will appear. These sceneries will show different memories of Linus’ residency in Kamiyama. The movable parts are inspired by traditional Japanese Fusuma theatre. Their function is a direct reference, to the way Fusuma panels are moved. However, instead of use in a theatre context, the mechanisms are adapted into a room installation. Similar to theatre backdrops, different worlds are created, and narrations are indicated within a space.

“It’s a Little Bit Over” plays with different layers of memory. The room itself is an architectural interpretation of an existing room. That said, the interior is not just that specific room. It also depicts different places by using found objects, photos, and specific materials. The title of this work describes the act of producing a memory, by realising that something is ending. And it reflects the in-limbo situation this exhibition produces. It is the end point of a period of time, that is not completely over yet – but it’s already a little bit over.

This work was developed during an artist in residence program in Kamiyama, Japan in 2019.

25 places in one (2019)

Open Art Biennale, Örebro, Sweden, 2019

For the work 25 Places in One Linus Riepler visited all the streets in Austria that are named after Sweden.
The installation – presented at the Open Art Biennale Örebro – consists of reconstructed elements of each visited place, merged together into one fictional landscape. Visitors can interact with the installation in various ways, from handling memorabilia, found objects, and photos collected during the journey to viewing accompanying video material on a mobile app.
In addition to this hands on approach, the project includes research into the history behind the naming of each street. Historic facts and legends – most of them dating back to the Thirty Years‘ War – are attached to the objects.
In 25 Places in One, we see how memories can affect places and how names can influence our memories. These streets were named because of memory of Sweden, and now this installation is a sort of tangible, amalgamated memory on top of that. A memory that allows viewers to enter a world foreign to ours, yet connected to their own.

„Cuddle the Mama“ zeigt die Geschichte einer fiktive Band mit gleichem Namen.
Die Arbeit basiert auf einem Fundstück, einem Drum Stick, den ich in New York gefunden habe. Der genaue Fundort wird im Zentrum der Arbeit in Form eines Dioramas dargestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird mittels Zeichungen und skulpturalen Elementen die Geschichte erzählt, wie der Stick verloren ging. Ein Stop-Motion-Video zeigt einen Auftritt der Band.

„Cuddle the Mama“ tells the story of a fictitious band and how they lost a drum stick.
During a trip to New York in 2015 I found a drum stick on the street. Back in my studio, I made up a story around the found object.  Through drawings and sculptural elements the story is told. In the shape of a diorama, a three-dimensional model shows the exact place where the drumstick was found. A stop motion video shows one of the band‘s concerts.

Panoptikum (2014)

Kunstrasen, Straßen und Zugschienen bildeten eine Landschaft, welche den Ausstellungsraum füllte. Darauf platziert wurden unterschiedliche Objekte: einerseits neue Skulpturen, aber auch ältere Arbeiten und Fragmente anderer Rauminstallationen. Sie alle kreisten um ähnliche Themenfelder und bildeten so ein Exzerpt meiner Arbeit, aber auch eine einzige, in sich geschlossene Installation, die nur für den Ausstellungszeitraum existierte.

 

A landscape including streets, grass areas and railroad tracks was built into the exhibition space. This landscape was filled with different objects: new sculptures, but also older works and fragments of past room installations. All of them were dealing with similar topics. This way, an excerpt of my work was produced, but also one single room installation, which only existed during the exhibition period.

Hinterm Hügel (2013)

Die Installation Hinterm Hügel entstand für die Ausstellung Hotel International, welche 2013 im Hotel marsil in Köln stattfand und von der Galerie Warhus Rittershaus organisiert wurde. Dem Ausstellungskonzept folgend, wurden auch das Hotelzimmer und dessen Einrichtung Teil der Installation. Meine Skulpturen waren Besucher in diesem Hotel. Nun, nach Ende des Projekts, müssen sie nicht als eine Arbeit zusammenbleiben, sondern können in einem Kontext weiter verwendet werden oder alleine stehen. Die Skulptur bergauf und bergab und bergab und bergab existierte bereits vor der Ausstellung.

The installation Hinterm Hügel was built for the exhibition Hotel International, which took place at hotel marsil in Cologne, 2013. It was a project by Galerie Warhus Rittershaus. Following the concept of the whole exhibiton, also the hotel room and it’s furniture became a part of the installation. My sculptures where visitors in that hotel. Now, after the project has ended they don’t have to stay together as one single work, but can appear in another context or stand on their own. The sculpture bergauf und bergab und bergab und bergab already existed before Hotel International.

Through pressing the foot pedals, viewers can play with the sculpture. The blue one makes the car drive around the corner and the green one lets the elevator go up and down. Through a foot switch lights can be switched on and off, to see the sculpture in two different light situations.
