In Moabit's center, right in front of the city hall, the fur is – or more precisely the fists are – flying. Not just two pairs, but a great many. Fortunately only in a figurative sense.
Sports equipment and some stuff from the hardware store. It doesn't take much more for Katja Aufleger to transform the all-around glazed showcase next to the busy Turmstraße into one of her installations charged with tension, that refers not only to elementary sculptural questions but also to ones of personal and social relevance.
With "The Argument" the artist points to public space as a site for addressing social issues and differences. And creates a concise yet ambiguous image for the conflict-ridden relationships between individuals, groups and institutions – in which everything hangs in the balance.
