Matthias Neumann is the founder of interdisciplinary art, architecture, and design praxis Normaldesign. Neumann maintains a practice that examines the abstracted notions of form, space, and utility. His ongoing Basics series is based in a constructive logic of additive 2” x 4” wooden slats that can be configured formally as well as spatially, resulting in work that may be visually read and experienced as both abstract sculptural gestures, as well as a usable additions to the public social and infrastructural environments they occupy. This installation marks the 51st entry of work in this series, placing it into a shared context with fifty other works throughout North America, each with their own formal identity and lifespan.
