This work resembles an open case, a "cardboard box", or perhaps suggests the presence of two boxes "nested" into one another. Painted a deep matt black, partially made from in a perforated metal sheet, this work stimulates curiosity and questions. It absorbs light, channeled by its folded flaps towards its interior, which is offered to the view of those approaching it. There is no mystery within to reveal or clarify. Nothing has taken to the air from within. There is only a series of elements in black perforated sheet with unexpected forms. Half folded and rolled, no describable or probable use can be attributed to them.
The temptation is to refer this work to those of the world of minimal art or to the granite blocks of a sculpture like that of Ulrich Rückriem. But we note very quickly that it does not impose its volume as something obvious - the factual evidence of what we see is only what we see, to reiterate Frank Stella's aphorism. Too big to be defined as an object to be handled. Chancing this would be to take it to pieces by detaching the elements from their semantic chain. As though the meaning of its elements were subordinate to its syntactic architecture. Nor is it a monument. It does not suggest an absent presence as do some works by Judd. Indeed, this box is less a box than a sheltering architecture, if we be so bold as to use the metaphor, the "frozen words" that configure it as container. It is the work suspended in the exhibition space, at Foetz, Will you be there? (Echo), 2015, launching its flashes of light into space, which permits it. It solidifies, materialises, "freezes" the sonogram of "Will you be there?" in its stack of small chrome-plated hexagonal brass bars. Quoting Rabelais is, maybe, not quite an anachronism. The formal beauty of this "box" is, after all, enigmatic. Like a structuralist parsing, it sends us from the signifying to the signified in a sort of shuttle effect making it impossible to favour one over the other.
We might therefore satisfy ourselves with its effects as sign and its paradoxical configuration. But in doing so, it generates a specific non-measurable space entwining a linguistic space and a formal space. This, combined with its surroundings, results in shifting relationships which, however, do not modify it. It assumes no spatial extension resulting from its presence. In its exhilarating solitude, it is its own figure and place.
We are thus carried over into the field of art. And to its history and chronology. Harald Klingelhöller belongs to the 1980s generation of artists, with Thomas Schütte, Ludger Gerdes, Thomas Demand, Hubert Kiecol, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, who likewise seeks to free himself from the ideological influence of Joseph Beuys and from the increasingly looming one of Gerhard Richter without engaging in the actions initiated by Georg Baselitz and Markus Lüpertz, a south of romantic and rebellious expressiveness reforming a "German" school of painting.
The solution and the break must have seemed to them to come from a confrontation with the excesses of modernism and the downward spiral of postmodernism brought into play with the help of a sort of variety of architectural models akin to the primary structures of minimal art. Their arrangement within the space of the museum-like White Cube, as something between sculpture and installation, sought to subvert the features. I am simplifying the complex implications of these fascinating and disturbing works here, I know.
The works of Harald Klingelhöller appeared on this occasion as stacks of letters and cardboard shapes that were not set in order by a syntactic and continuous space. Mirrors reflected partial views of the space where they appeared to function as an aggregation of illegible letters. They nevertheless referred to platitudes or those metaphors whose meanings are trivialised by being repeated too often. A word, its forgotten meaning, thus becomes something that we cannot name. And which manifests its existence as word first as an object or as form. Its repetition thus becomes an accelerator of meaning determining relations that are less linguistic than spatial. In Nausea, Jean-Paul Sartre well described what an amnesiac suspension can cause. A chestnut tree root appears before Antoine Roquentin who, suddenly, in that place, cannot remember what a root is, its existence, its real and existential presence. We are like Alberto Giacometti, enraptured by the sight of a head he tries to capture in the snares of his scratched writing without being able to know what it is. Objectified, cut-out letters and words become "things" requiring space, an imaginary and unmeasurable space. This here and now ineluctably becomes a sculptural place in which the meanings of any language are made and unmade.
