The correlations between Philipp Messner’s artistic quest and the methods of Neo-Conceptualism are clear and, at the same time, blurred. |
The relations between Messner and the tradition of Conceptual Art are characterized by a patient and deliberate distillation of experiments which, in addition, are attributable to Kinetic Art and Arte Povera among others, and, at the same time, by an interest in applied art, design and architecture as expressions of a culture of planning which is, by means of the empirical space of the work, capable of questioning and radically changing the real and symbolic space of our experience and our beliefs. -Andrea Viliani
