SOLAR BREATH , Knowing from where the wind blows, ERES Foundation, Munich

27 September 2023

ERES Foundation selected the project Wind Lift, realised by Marjetica Potrč and OOZE (Eva Pfannes & Sylvain Hartenberg) for the Folkestone Triennial 2014 curated by Lewis Biggs, to be featured in Munich for the Solar Breath exhibition.
“Solar Breath fans out the complex interplay of the winds in an airy, sensual synopsis of contemporary artistic positions. Fascinated by the volatility of the winds and their neither visible nor tangible reality, the exhibition shows the ambivalence of this natural phenomenon – between potential and threat, between lightness and apocalyptic power.”
A series of photographs of The Wind Lift in situ, will be presented in the exhibition. This piece explores this natural phenomenon through an interactive art installation comprising of a large wind turbine which powers a lift. Developing a sustainable energy infrastructure is one of main challenges of the twenty-first century. The Wind Lift becomes a lookout onto the future. Other artists include Dennis Oppenheim, Nanne Meyer, Bigert & Bergström and Leiko Ikemura.
