Ruth Weigand's works elude contemporary trends and current discourses. [..] They appear to be
divorced from time intangible while they are paradoxically primarily distinguished by one
aspect: their unconditional presence. (Jari Ortwig) Ruth Weigand (*1978) works across media
with a focus on sculpture. She explores physicality temporality and materiality in an
experimental and intuitive way. In doing so she forms graphically organized expansive
structures of ceramics that sound out the limits and possibilities of the material. Her half
reliefs of delicately colored plaster play with the idea of impermanence of the fragmentary
of the trace. Ruth Weigand develops her own poetic sometimes seemingly ornamental language of
form which reveals its magic from its implied succinct imperfection. (Jari Ortwig) Other
Thoughts provides an overview of Ruth Weigand's work with a focus on her solo exhibition of
the same name from 2021 in KunstWerk Köln.
