The dual solo exhibition of UWE KOSKI (b.1963-) and Kai SCHIEMENZ (b.1966-) will be held in AKI Gallery, half a decade since they last visited Taiwan. The title of the exhibition “Order and Chaos” intends to explore the intricate interrelationship between the works of two artists, or to be more specific, rationality and sensibility. Their works not only delve into the profoundness of natural media but also toy with the interplay of external environment.
Kai SCHIEMENZ currently
lives in Berlin. He is known for his artistry of employing glass and
ceramics as the main media for his oeuvre, attempting to integrate
crafting, design, and art. The transparent material property of glass
enables light to pass through; meanwhile, the smooth outer surface as
well as the internal marks left during the shaping process makes every
piece of his work customized. SCHIEMENZ believes that architecture
signifies social culture. He portrays urban landscapes in an abstract
yet subtle approach, probing the relationship between city, space, and
buildings. To his belief, pure rationality can only be achieved with
calm, reasonable, and investigative logical thinking.

The
artists' inner experience is often expressed through art, which is
built between rationality and sensibility. Kai SCHIEMENZ's works seem to
be rational, complete, and neat. In fact, the artist enjoys the
sporadic nature of the glass-modeling process, during which infinite
surprises are to be uncovered every moment; Uwe KOWSKI finds the harmony
between order and chaos, jumping out of the rational creation methods,
and conveys the “essence of life” in abstract expressions. The
conflicting composition of “Order and Chaos” has always been the core of
the artist's works constantly evolving around and eventually shaping
their unique style.
