Galerie Barbara Wien is currently hosting a solo exhibition by Ester Fleckner, titled "All models are wrong, some are useful". For her first exhibition with Galerie Barbara Wien, Ester Fleckner presents two new series of woodcut prints and concrete sculptures. The large and unique blackboard-like prints show manifold patterns: complex and seemingly abstract, flawed geometric drawings. It is rather difficult to foresee the outcome of these unfolded forms or the type of architectures which would erect from these odd images. The second series brings together a collection of vertical similar-backbones as many bodies’ anatomy with febrile grid patterns. Fleckner immerses the viewers into abstraction in a place where the viewer has difficulty identifying through lack of contours, norms and categories. Somehow, to recognise is to use a common set of signs, only effective if categories are clearly defined beforehand.Ester Fleckner was born in Denmark in 1983. She is currently living in Berlin. Since she graduated in 2013 from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark, she has had several solo exhibitions in the Danish capital, including in Overgaden Institute of Art in 2016.
