Pe Lang and Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri return to Galerie Anhava with an exhibition showcasing a new, more organic art practice and identity.
The analogue mechanics behind each work is built by hand, but it’s the materials and their interplay that takes the stage. As Lang puts it, the organic programming behind their kinetic artworks considers what could come after technology.

The starting point to the exhibition was to offer a visitor a chance to pause, to breathe and to experience something captivating and rejuvenating, an experience for the visitor to get absorbed in the magic of the colours, sounds and balance of movement.

"Not being able to have full control does not mean a limitation.
It is exactly the openness and unforeseen quality of the resulting sounds that we are craving for." -

Circular motion is central in all works of the exhibition. The rotation determines the pace of the movements it initiates, movements that then break on into different patterns, arrangements, rhythms and compositions, mirroring the rotation of celestial bodies or the passage of time.

Despite being based in mechanics, the sculptures and installations have an organic, natural feel to them.
There's a certain deep earthiness that comes through in various ways, be it via the organic materials such as bread, the pulsating movements resembling living organisms or the deep sounds bringing to mind a sleeping large creature.
