Eric Göngrich

Erik Göngrich is a Berlin-based artist who works with sculpture, drawing, photography, and other media. His interest is architecture and design—in a word, form, the stuff people make, how they make it, and why. His point of view is very much a street-level one, his eye that of the interested visitor, the pedestrian, the flâneur. Göngrich travels a lot, and his work is built out of his interactions with new places. Walking, biking, letting his eye rove in districts high and low, Göngrich creates work in response to his daily visual experience. He aims to assemble the look of a place—but from the ground up, and in piecemeal and provisional form.

In his two-part exhibition at the close of his residency, Göngrich exhibited sculpture made in Marfa from locally accessed cardboard. The title of the show was "Non-site-specific," and visitors to the exhibitions were free to discover (or not discover) resemblances between the sculptures and various local landmarks and eyesores they see (or don't see) every day. In addition, "Non-Site-Specific" was a traveling show, albeit one where the travel took place only within Marfa.

At the Locker Plant on opening night, Gongrich's carboard works filled the room, accompanied by an installation of preparatory drawings. The sculptures came in all shapes and sizes; some were elaborately "carved" and fitted together, while others were simple. Göngrich left the cardboard surfaces plain and let his warped, whimsical shapes speak for themselves. The work cheerfully blurred distinctions between art, design, and architecture.

After their debut at the Locker Plant, the sculptures migrated the next day to one of Donald Judd's unfinished concrete building at Chinati. The venue change had a dramatic effect on Göngrich's troupe of cardboard players: whereas at the Locker Plant they appeared sturdy enough — durable, corporeal — in the windswept space of the concrete building they seemed jumpy and excitable. Even anchored to ceiling and floor, the sculptures skittered and careened in the wind. Visitors might have been viewing a primitive physics experiment — one designed on the cheap to test certain properties of objects in motion, a kind of makeshift aerodynamics.

Erik Göngrich was born in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany in 1966. He has a Masters degree in art from the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and a degree in Interior Architecture from the Fachhochschule Rosenheim. During his school years he worked and interned in the firms of architects Herzog & de Meuron and Peter Eisenman and in the studio of artist Rachel Whiteread. He has lived for long periods in various parts of the world, including Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Brazil, and exhibited widely, in both solo and group shows, in Berlin, Munich, Tirania, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Boston, Los Angeles, and many other cities. Göngrich lives in Berlin and travels often.
