Art has always been the sensorium of the fragile, brittle and porous of the human. In this group
exhibition, however, human fracture lines are not treated directly in terms of the human body, but
instead by using architecture as a surrogate. The fractures and interfaces of buildings form
metaphors for the breaks in human existence. The term “Displaced Fractures” derives from the
medical world, and describes a phenomenon whereby bone fractures reveal themselves in other
places than the major stress site. The term “displacement” is also used in psychology. In the new
spaces of the migros museum für gegenwartskunst, installations, spatial interventions and
sculptures working with the displacement of symptoms are given prominence. What dominates
here is the area of tension between the refusal of form and monumental creations, between
subjective and formal, rational gestures.
In an analogy to the notion of “Displaced Fractures,” projection surfaces are rendered on the building
which, in spite of its stability, is subject to temporality, and an opening up to questions of its existential
orientation and existence. Through such actions on this alleged fixedness, the discourse on sculpture
demonstrates the precariousness of the present and makes it palpable. In works exhibited by artists such
as Klaus Winicher or Phyllida Barlow, the formless, already posited by Rosalind Krauss and Yves Alain
Bois as a synonym for that which is repressed, is elaborated upon in material and form. As the work of
Oscar Tuazon and Kilian Rüthemann shows, it is not alienation that is thematized here, but instead the
impossibility of bringing the modulations of the building’s fracture lines and the unruly ability to live to
expression. Lifeless material becomes a metaphor for the body, as Klara Lidén’s work shows, whether in
cautious construction or spontaneous collapse. The works exhibit the structures of the architectonic exactly
like personal traces. They are precise attitudes in which the formal culmination materializes, as Emilie
Ding’s concrete support structures or Ulrich Rückriem’s stone cuboids testify. The dynamic application of
colors and the use of free forms make these subjective interventions particularly distinctive. They bear
witness to the presence of the human and ultimately, through free and defiant handling, signify the
vulnerability of the present and of memory.

Stiftung).
In the field of Culture the global acting Siemens Stiftung wishes to accompany and help impart the social
changes registered by art and culture. The challenges of the present have been thematized by the leitmotif
“Shifting Societies”; an art that depicts time-determined problems, damage and mental states renders our
contemporary living environment and existential problems manifest and tangible. siemens-stiftung.org

Since the 1970s, Phyllida Barlow (born 1944, UK) has grappled with sculpture and installation and from
that time has worked, in the tradition of the post minimalists, against the heritage of the auratized object. In
her works, raw materials pile up into dense clusters of forms. In part bundled into dwellings, they
persistently display an elementary physical presence, and for a long period have not only supported the
smooth aesthetic of minimalism but have stood in precise opposition to the polished and popular aesthetic
of a Jeff Coons or Haim Steinbach prevalent in the 1980s.

Tacita Dean (born 1965, UK), former student of Phyllida Barlow at the Slade School of Fine Arts in
London, works primarily in the media of film and sound. She is particularly interested in the connection
between the elapsing of time and its narration, and the expectations incorporated within it. The film Palast
(2004) is amongst her most famous works, and was shown at the Venice Biennial in 2005. It is a portrait of
the Berlin Palast der Republik before its demolition. Heavy protests were held in front of the DDR
showcase building before it was torn down. The steel and glass building was to be replaced by a
reconstruction of a much older Berlin palace that once stood on the same site. Instead of the evaluation of
cultural history as political symbol through a loud demonstration piece, Dean here puts forward a silent
elegy. The insight – filmed with slow and thoughtful camera direction – reveals gold-colored light play,
shadows and strange coloring.

Exhibition view: Salle Crosnier, Palais de l’Athénée, Geneva
The sculptural works of Emilie Ding (born 1981, Switzerland) chafe at the discourse of American
minimalism. On the exhibition floor, Ding places distinct form elements that always signify use-properties.
They are pieces of concrete, which – angulated and with steel bolts attached – appear like hinges, support
elements or modular components used in architecture. The arrangement of the blocks creates a debate
with the formal discourses. The reference to minimalism is also reflected in the concept of seriality,
whereby Ding’s sculptures are treated as unique objects with barely any visible imperfections.

The functions and failures of urban spaces form central themes in the works by Klara Lidén (born 1979,
Sweden). She makes installations from found materials such as cardboard, torn-off poster paper or used
furniture. The compositions are akin to historic décollages and speak a language of revolt against material
and the environment. Likewise, in her video works she engages public space through what appear to be
odd de-placed bodily activities when, for instance, she dances in a subway train or performs a “Moonwalk”
on the streets of New York. Irritation and rebellion against all the regulations of public life are constant
characteristics here. In her video work Position 0310 (2010) the artist clamps herself to public appliances
such as gas pipes and advertising pillars, and like a petrified animal, remains almost invisible to the
pulsating traffic.

Ulrich Rückriem (born 1938, Germany) numbers among the most important German sculptors of the
Post-war period. Hand crafted precision and a distinctive plastic consciousness determine his works, which
are imbued with monumentalism and formalism. He takes ideas and procedural methods from American
Minimal and Conceptual Art but nonetheless creates an independent work. Enclosed stone blocks are
sawed into or drilled into to make memory and historicity sculpturally legible by dint of hairline cracks, cut
edges and fracture lines. For Rückriem the work process and the concept preceding it always remain
central to the work.

Kilian Rüthemann (born 1979, Switzerland) subtly confronts the architectonic properties of the exhibition
location in his works. The aesthetic of his works is determined by the exposing of structures and a search
for the unstable and fragile in the seemingly fixed. In the attempt to elicit the unseen poetry from the
spaces he works with, he at times uses brute means – for instance when he pours out an additional
concrete floor on a stairway, making the entry considerably less convenient.

The interests of Oscar Tuazon (born 1978, USA) range from the relation of tension between architecture
and nature, displayed in the disintegration of the public space, to the extreme conditions of almost
untamable nature. The essence of this confrontation is conveyed by a reduced architectonic language in
the exhibition space, for which he uses simple building materials. At the same time he shows a great
interest in a formal language in connection with hard and soft elements. In the architectonic conditions of
the exhibition spaces, Tuazon makes a second inner structure grow, making the two architectonic levels
vie with one another: that of the inner, which nestles in, and that of the outer, which covers.

Central to the work of Klaus Winichner (born 1967, Germany) is the debate on the human portrait in terms
of sculptural discourse. He approaches his theme through various media such as sculpture, painting and
drawing, to which he frequently adds industrial construction materials or construction waste. The portraits
are created not just through illustrations but also through fragmentary architectures that represent the
human. They are abstract assemblages put together by the artist from mattresses, books, flower troughs
and materials that are seemingly amorphous. These often space-filling sculptural form-conglomerates, give
an impression of the coincidental remains of human existence.
The Displaced Fractures exhibition is an initiative of the Siemens Stiftung
and the migros museum für gegenwartskunst
In the field of culture the global acting Siemens Stiftung wishes to accompany
and help impart the social changes registered by art and culture. Challenges of
the modern era are tackled under the motto “Shifting Societies”. A diagnosis of
our own era and an analysis of current modes of existence are both
indispensable prerequisites for this. Art that reveals the sensitivities, issues and
damage incurred in today’s world enables us to grasp the way that we live, and
the existential problems that confront us.
The Displaced Fractures exhibition develops the notion of shifting, of displaced
symptoms. The act of shifting is involuntary, as a means of acting out at a
different location, as an attempt to arrest injury by evasion, substitution and
sublimation. The meaning of the ego and of existence is made visible through
tension and inner conflicts.
The project shows current artistic positions from all around the world, including
Ulrich Rückriem, long considered one of the key post-war sculptors. In all the
works, material and its treatment are in the foreground, for the way we approach
determining our existence and approach society is revealed by proxy through
solid objects and their fragility. Lifeless material turns into a metaphor for the
body.
The Siemens Stiftung has been fortunate in establishing a partnership with the
migros museum für gegenwartskunst for this joint project. Curated by Heike
Munder (migros museum für gegenwartskunst) and Thomas D. Trummer
(Siemens Stiftung), the exhibition is presented in the new premises of “Hubertus
Exhibitions” in the Albisrieden district of Zurich.
