The sculptural works of the US artist Grant Mooney approach material not as an autonomous property of a substance, but as the effect of a configuration in which material, bodily, and discursive forces intersect and generate one another. Matter is not passively shaped; it acts as a formative force in its own right, generating meaning. In this sense, it becomes an active participant in processes of aesthetic knowledge and experience.
The exhibition sum is Grant Mooney’s first museum exhibition in Europe and, at the same time, a solo presentation that expands into a broader project including works by other artists. With his relational concept of sculpture, Mooney creates a field of currents and flows between objects from the collection of Museum Abteiberg, selected historical works, and works by other contemporary artists. Through this cross-generational constellation, sum examines how materials have behaved since the 1960s and reflects on the development of sculptural practice today.
