About The Artwork
Weight-based Art 1€/g Weight: 9.4 kg THE WALL "I have built a GREAT GREAT Wall, and like all walls, they are meant to be written and painted on, and one day to be broken.” For the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Adrian Luz designed a brutal installation. It was on view the whole year at the Benhadj & Djilali Gallery declared Museum for this purpose. Inspired by the border wall between Mexico and the United States, Adrian Luz has built a large 3D wall at the Benhadj & Djilali Museum in Berlin. In the most immediate way, the work confronts visitors with the physical reality of closed borders: one has to use physical effort to climb over or through the installation in order to at all enter the space. Visually, "The Wall" looks like a space-filling graphic sculpture, yet through the physical participation it tells in an almost performative way of cruelly exercised power relations - but of the subtle and individual possibilities to overcome or also undermine them! The welded-in-place, metal sculpture allows, in the widest sense, the creative maneuvering in the personal search for one’s own happiness within a superimposed system. Pieces of "The Wall" are now being sold to fund the next step of the project in Tijuana, to illuminate the Border Wall between Mexico and the United States.

Artist and architect Adrian Luz is part of a new, ‘transnationally’ active generation. The term refers to a biography and body of work spanning multiple countries, whereby changes in perspective and social realities related thereto are not negated but given a positive artistic interpretation. Adrian Luz was born in the border town of Tijuana (1974), grew up in Los Angeles, spent numerous years in Paris, and is currently living in Berlin. He is known for his temporary art installations in public spaces. Interventions like “Of Two” on the Simone de Beauvoir pedestrian bridge in Paris (2012), “Reminiscences of a Higher Place” in La Jolla Indian Reservation, San Diego (2016), “Something Inside Myself” at Miami Art Basel, Miami (2016), and various creative interventions at Burning Man festivals create unique, aesthetic social places- moments of spontaneous gathering and positive appropriation by passers-by. When the artworks of Adrian Luz disappear, they remain as memories, thoughts, and more importantly, as proof of a best case scenario of a new societal possibility.
