DEEDS CALENDAR: Cornelia Parker: Stolen Thunder (A Storm Gathering) – KINDL – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst | until 24.05.2026
Cornelia Parker understands violence and destruction as central moments in sculptural practice. In her sculptural and installation work, she combines deconstruction and redesign. She exposes everyday objects to forces that change their form and create new contexts of meaning. Her art is characterized by a playful approach to time and history; it is an art of translation, transformation, and allusion. This is evident, for example, in her well-known large-scale sculpture on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) (2016) refers both to the Bates Motel from Hitchcock’s classic film Psycho and to the red, traditional wooden house of rural America. The artist finds visual metaphors for the political, spiritual, and cultural state of our world—often with an apocalyptic undertone. Her works reveal connections to the unconscious, to violence and trauma, but also to our beliefs and desires.
