Mischa Kuballs Solidarity Grid ist ein permanent im öffentlichen Raum installiertes Kunstwerk und ein Geschenk an die neuseeländische Stadt Christchurch, die 2010 und 2011 von verheerenden Erdbeben heimgesucht worden war. Über einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren spendeten 21 Städte weltweit funktionstüchtige Laternen für das Werk. Kuball stellte die Laternen – mit ihrer jeweils ganz eigenen Gestaltung und Geschichte – entlang eines zwischen der Innenstadt und einer Parkanlage verlaufenden Weges auf wodurch sie durch ihren neuen Standort zusätzliche symbolische und soziale Bedeutung erlangen.
The conceptual artist Mischa Kuball (b. 1959) has been making installations involving light in public and institutional spaces since 1984. In 2016 he received the German Light Art Award. Artificial light is one of the most adaptable media that can be used anywhere and moulded and controlled any way you want, and at the same time it is powerfully symbolic, suggestive, and emotive. Mischa Kuball uses monitors, video projections, spot lights, and slide projectors to medially break up, question or re-interpret fixed spatial structures and perceptual topoi. In his exhibition 'Light on Kirchner' Mischa Kuball translates the idea of photographing and projecting works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner into a complex installation. Mischa Kuball combines the central aspects of Kirchner's painting, movement, and color, in his installation and adds his own shadow images and projections to them. Mischa Kuball responds to the colorful world of Kirchner with black-and-white contrasts, thereby underscoring that the shadow, along with the mirror, is the prototype of image production
Public preposition' is the title of a series of works in public settings Mischa Kuball (b. Düsseldorf, 1959; lives and works in Düsseldorf) has realized since 2009. Since the 1970s, artists have explored the fundamental question of how to conceive art in the public sphere for our time; their answers have varied widely. This study highlights issues of art by Kuball. Essays by Barbara Steiner, Blair French, Zoran Eric, and others
