| Summary |
Gereon Krebber's proposal for a monumental and expensive aluminium object called Tin won the 2003 Jerwood Sculpture Prize. Shot over more than a year this film follows the creation, casting and placing of the final sculpture. Sitting in the elegant country house garden at Ragley Hall, Tin suggests a kitchen container or a hamburger and yet is at the same time defiantly abstract. Krebber is a young sculptor from Germany who studied at the Royal College of Art and now works in London. The surprising range of his works, and the processes which create it, are revealed here as he talks engagingly about how to create "seriously flippant" objects. His art, made with diverse materials including balloons and cling films as well as traditional media, has a unique deadpan humour. Its effect, the artist hopes, is to make you "smile and shiver at the same time" |
