NATALIA STACHON (*1976 Katowice, Poland) shows her installation RAJ. “‘Rajis Polish forparadise’, but in everyday use the termjak w rajudonates something that is too good to be truewrites Dorothea Strauss. Stachon chose very thin copper sheets in A4 size and, in a laborious almost meditative process, hand-polished them to a high gloss. The sheets are so thin that they really seem almost like sheets of paper. Stachon crumpled each of these copper sheets like letters one wishes to rewrite. Here, the act of crumpling additionally turns into a sculptural gesture. Time is one of the themes this poetic work touches uponthe successive oxidation through air, breath, or touch. In parallel with RAJ, Stachon presents her new catalogue Natalia Stachon. Matter Shifted, edited by Dorothea Strauss for the Museum Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich and designed by Vera Rammelmeyer from MISCHEN, the July-host of MASA BERLIN.
