OPEN FORUM presents KIRSTEN PIEROTH

´Kirsten Pieroth’s artistic method draws on appropriartion and displacement, inflicting subtle manipula- tions on everyday objects and situations to suggest a variety of possible readings. In 2001, for example, she pumped a Berlin street puddle into water canisters and relocated the puddle in Albania by pouring the water out in an exhibition space of the First Tirana Biennial. For another work en- titled Dead Ant (2005), Pieroth used a Penguin edition of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to squash an ant with the back cover of the book. Detective Story presents another humour-tinged inversion on de- tection: two Braille books, identical in format, cover and title that require a blind reader to spot that they do not contain the same story. (comp: ‘Objet à Part’ catalogue, 2006)´
