For FischGrätenMelkStand – the final project at Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin – the artist John Bock has developed a masterful meta-structure within which he installs works by 62 artists.

An eleven-meter-tall walk-in steel construction creates a range of spatial situations over four levels, linking the individual works into a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk, or total artwork.

Unlike the classic white cube, this scenario offers the works on show anything but a neutral setting. Within a structure that is functional and grotesque in equal measure, the artworks fuse with the space that surrounds them.

By this means, John Bock creates surprising poetic, formal, and thematic connections and contradictions that refer to pop culture, architecture, film, science, and everyday life, as well as to parapsychology, music, and fashion. Visitors to the show are invited to embark on their own voyage of discovery.

In his own works, John Bock deals with open structures for which he finds absurd forms with an inner logic that is both playful and compelling. By combining various media – sculpture, installation, film, performance – he creates a total artwork within which the artist himself often appears as a protagonist, explaining his cosmos in sprawling, surreal experimental set-ups.

For FischGrätenMelkStand, John Bock reverses this principle, letting the viewer take his place in exploring the precarious structure with its bizarre installations and constellations.

[GERMAN] Für FischGrätenMelkStand – das große Abschlussprojekt der Temporären Kunsthalle Berlin – hat der Künstler John Bock eine virtuose Meta-Struktur entwickelt, in der er die Werke von 62 Künstlern installiert. Eine elf Meter hohe, begehbare Stahlkonstruktion schafft auf vier Ebenen unterschiedliche Raumsituationen und bindet die einzelnen Arbeiten zu einer Art Gesamtkunstwerk zusammen.
