Synopsis

The five meter high sculpture doesn't occupy the centre of the room, but is oddly pushed to the side. Thomas Scheibitz has left space in the German Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale 2005 for Tino Sehgal and his interpreters to enact a piece, which has to be experienced rather than documented and described.\nStanding opposite, this sculpture can be construed in its individual pieces as some kind of deconstructivist game: on platforms, in sloping surfaces, mounted gyroscopic elements, shelves, et cetera. And yet this world of shapes comprises only nine pieces. A series of pictures occupy the adjoining space.\nBorn in 1968 in Radeberg, Thomas Scheibitz caused a sensation in 2001 with two exhibitions of paintings at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunstmuseum Winterthur respectively, eliciting rapturous enthusiasm from Rudi Fuchs: ?Paintings, the like of which I have never seen before: a new generation of pictorial forms.?\nBy 2002 Thomas Scheibitz considered his work to have arrived at the point ?where sculpture has become a urgent necessity?. Since then the forms have been cheerfully put together and pulled asunder, engendering a process of looking with shapes, a process ?related to ways of looking in the rest of the world and yet not comparable, parallel to thinking and yet without precedent? as the Pavilion's curator Julian Heynen puts it in his foreword.
