Tony Cragg: Times

Tony Cragg: Times
In cooperation with the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery

The DomQuartier presents the first exhibition of contemporary sculpture in the state‑rooms of the Salzburg Residenz. The new works by British artist and Turner prize-winner Tony Cragg wereconceived specially for these historic rooms, and inspired by the magnificent décor of the former archiepiscopal palace complex.
In part, Cragg’s works echo specific motifs of the state-rooms, such as the curved legs of a Biedermeier table, revealing the artist’s unwavering interest in exploring materiality and structure.
The works in the exhibition range from filigree glass sculptures to massive organic stone forms, the respective material influencing the formal language of the sculptures. The meticulous craftsmanship and palpable energy of the works is astounding, and their fascinating, spatiality lends fresh force to the perception of these historic rooms.
