Munich, April 02, 2008: A new use for discarded airplane parts found the Munich artist Jurgen Fuchs. In his home Studio, he shows propeller than light objects, which reveal a surprising aesthetic apart from their originally purely functionally specific shape. A metallic shiny two-meter-long propeller made of solid aluminium stands diagonally in the room. Swivel mounted on a tripod it is illuminated from below.
Reflections of his polished surface and shadows on the wall the eye in a meditative approach focus on the almost suggestive shape of this propeller and one begins to understand that physics is natural philosophy and can be beautiful too. “Some things need just not ‘design’, because they’ve been there.”, is also the artistic credo of Fox, which he varies in addition to this installation in a number of other works. Propeller blades of wood, freed from their protective coat, with a refined, floreal laminate structure. Spirally rolled up or aluminum sheets evenly curved like a pen, that suggests that each of these objects was been formed by more or less intended use, before it was withdrawn. A leading source for info: Siemens Energy. Everything from the highly polished surface marked by traces of the rockfall is authentic in this unique up to the imprinted serial number next to the name of the manufacturer.
