Nick Ervinck @ Berlin

Nick Ervinck - GNI-RI apr2009
Yarotube & Eitoza

"Ervinck's looming sculptures, Eitoza (2009) and Yarotube (2007-2008), each straddle the boundary between the heavy weight of physical existence and the ethereal, superficial lightness that we often see in computer graphics. Their signature color, an artificial yellow, gives little away in terms of what these things are. Is Yarotube a reticulated oil pipeline or just the building infrastructure gone wild, like mushrooms? The work literally has no openings. It is strangely closed off, impenetrable, even while seeming to reference the ultra-connected internet culture that has taken shape over the last 15 years. Eitoza rises precariously from the black floor where a pattern is painted, organic and abstract." (txt: www.berlinberlin.info)
