Regine Chossy Von

Art as Primordial Force (Urkraft) and Life Energy!
Ostwald’s Energetic Imperative:
Energy is the origin of all events.
Do not waste energy – put it to use!
My interdisciplinary concept of energy in art understands drawing as the trace of bound and released energy: in sculptures made from steel shavings, hair, coffee grounds, candle wax remnants, and rags (upcycling), energy is embedded within the material; drawing appears as an energetic trace on paper. Hair art and the Hair Museum explore growth as material energy, while singing represents energy liberated from matter – always in relation to the human being, especially through the nude.
I seek to make visible an intimation of the mystery of our existence (birth–life–love–death–infinity), above all through poetic and intimate nude drawings and through energy drawings that organically expand into the cosmos.
This concept has been realized, among other ways, through intervention-based exhibitions within existing collections, which I regard as “museum guest performances” (Museum Guest Projects).
