The “Life Concepts” by Dorothee Golz often show tables with chairs, set with plates, cups and crockery that have fused and that confront viewers with interpersonal relationships, life concepts and their own individuality. The outline of the tables and chairs are often sketchy and consist of thin, welded iron rods. These lines, reflective of the artist’s passion for drawing, are transferred to the sculptural plane. This “Life Concept” shows a single table and chair, again representing a relational message. The emptiness and loneliness during “Corona Isolation” are brought home in a powerful way, despite – or maybe because of – the sculpture’s sketchy fragility.

The sculptures of the PX series, which Dorothee Golz began in 1989 and has been working on ever since, draw inspiration from everyday objects from the artist’s surroundings. Selected features or set pieces are then combined to create new objects. Features such as the surface finish, colours or tactility of previous sculptures are merged with later works, ensuring the ongoing development of the PX series from generation to generation. Dorothee Golz sees it as an evolutionary process, to be interpreted as an analogy to human genetics and Mendel’s laws of heredity. The complex “family” relations of the PX sculptures are shown in a specially developed computer programme, similar to a family tree.
