up/1ce up.on a time 2006
Once upon a time, one made a little world for oneself in
the playroom; for example, out of these plastic discs that had indentations
at regular intervals like gears, into which one could push other discs at
angles. This is also the way the HDF discs in Stefan Roigks "1ce up.on
a time" are put together. But here, the game is up. The parts, highly
varied in shape and size, don't allow for arbitrary combinations. [...] From
the loudspeakers in the bottom part unexpectedly comes a repeated sound of
a blow that cuts into the continuity of time. One might want to stop the disturbance,
but the attached switch doesn't work. [Oliver Jelinski]
Stefan Roigk,
born 1974 in Bückeburg [D], lives and works in Berlin. He studied visual
art 1998-2002, majoring in sound art under Prof. Ulrich Eller at the Fachhochschule
Hannover. 2002 work grant from the state of Lower Saxony, 2004 Lower Saxony
yearlong fellowship, 2005 Thales-Preis from Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven. His
artistic work centres on exploring the possibility of equally-weighted combinations
of drawing, sound and sculpture in solitary sound objects or large-scale environments.
In addition, since 1992 the artist has been active as a musician in the field
of experimental and improvised music. www.christianehrentraut.com
