Werner Glinka’s newest assemblages, playing with the transformation of found, salvaged, scavenged and repurposed non-art materials into art, will be featured in Change of Context. Glinka’s work utilizes rusty metal bands, salvaged electrical insulators, decaying metal fences and other miscellaneous cast-offs in referencing the industrial landscape of the artist’s early childhood. The coalmines, steel mills and other functional yet decaying structures that dominated the landscape of Germany’s Ruhr Valley made a lasting impression on Glinka’s aesthetic. Educated as an electrical engineer, Glinka’s art is also informed by mathematics and symbols used to communicate complicated concepts. Change of Context explores the interplay of space and form through familiar symbols and structures, balancing clear geometry with the variegated and irregular patterns of discarded materials.
