TEMPORARY CONTEMPORARY
Tobias Tavella places the concept of intersubjective reality, which holds significance within the community, at the core of his artistic exploration. His work delves into a comprehensive examination of reality and the interplay with space. Tavella's fascination with space is twofold: he delves into the philosophical aspects of space, involving concepts of boundaries and expansiveness, and also explores the practical spatial requirements for art creation, including studios and exhibition venues.
Mostly his installations are composed with natural materials wich he finds in the great outdoors, such as driftwood, bones, and branches. These organic forms are juxtaposed with man-made materials, often featuring angular, raw-edged spare components like metal tubes. His aime is to create captivating compositions that harmonize the contrast between natural and human-made forms.
His temporary spatial interventions reflect the social framework of art, it's conditions of production and representation. Art production needs space, just as it needs places for presentation.
Tobias Tavella calls his artistic practice of temporary working and exhibition spaces "Dynamic Studio Practice". He himself becomes a nomad in search of space.
