Exhibition catalogue. In the work of Johannes Wald (*Sindelfingen 1980, lives and works in Berlin), who sees himself as a conceptual sculptor, there are only a few works that correspond to the conventional idea of sculpture. Their creation is also not the focus of his interest. Instead, he looks for ways to convey new artistic experiences to the public as directly as possible.
Johannes Wald’s works are located on a meta-level and illustrate his reflections on sculpture-making and being an artist. Space, time and materials play a decisive role here. Wald intends to dissolve the separation between space, body and mind. In his imagination, the artist, the studio and the work merge. Accordingly, his precisely conceived exhibition spaces are to be understood as thinking spaces into which he allows his audience to immerse themselves. This way of working is based on the idea that the artist shapes himself through the reception of his works. The place of this process is the studio, which Wald sees as part of his psyche and his thinking.
To illustrate his ideas, Johannes Wald uses traditional sculptural materials such as wood, clay, plaster, bronze, aluminum, marble and paper, as well as digital media such as 3D video projections and augmented reality.  The continuous transformation of thoughts and language, which he also sees as sculptural material, leads to endless possibilities of artistic expression in both physical and imaginary space.
