For his first collaboration with Nosbaum Reding Projects, the Luxembourg-born artist Eric Schumacher presents a group of specially conceived works that dwell on the complex relationships between global consumer culture and the modernist ideals underpinning it. Made of found or everyday materials, his sculptures explore modernism's legacy in mass-produced design and architecture, asking how capitalism inflects our experience of everyday life. Questions of economy and waste are central to Schumacher's work - never more so than in this project, which was developed and implemented during the Covid-19 lockdown, when the artist had to rely on leftover materials and offcuts from previous works. Starting from these scraps, he assembled, disassembled and reassembled a series of puzzling, often quirky and humorous installations that pointedly question the shortcomings of material culture as a means to create, define, preserve or disseminate identity. Schumacher's work, writes curator Dan Brown, is 'a search for an elusive harmony, opposed by the inequities and compromises of the everyday, a pure geometry constructed with insufficient materials and inefficient tools'.

After studying art in Brussels, he obtained a BA in Sculpture from Edinburgh College of Art and went on to pursue an MA at the Technical University of Berlin. His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in museums and art centres across Europe. He is best known to local audiences for Cluderer, his 'Salon des refus?s' created as part of the Triennale de la jeune cr?ation in 2018, and his work was included in the 2019 Prix d'art Robert Schuman prize show. He is currently an artist in residence at the K?nstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin.

Pour sa premi?re intervention chez Nosbaum Reding Projects, l'artiste luxembourgeois Eric Schumacher pr?sente un ensemble d'oeuvres sp?cialement con?ues qui s'int?ressent aux relations complexes entre la culture de consommation ? l'?chelle mondiale et les id?aux modernistes qui la sous-tendent. Fabriqu?es ? partir de mat?riaux trouv?s ou communs, ses sculptures traquent l'h?ritage du modernisme dans le design et l'architecture de masse pour interroger la mani?re dont le capitalisme dicte notre exp?rience du quotidien. Les principes d'?conomie et de gaspillage sont au coeur du travail de l'artiste - a fortiori dans ce projet d?velopp? et r?alis? pendant le confinement, qui l'a oblig? ? recourir aux mat?riaux disponibles dans son atelier et ? recycler des chutes de travaux ant?rieurs. ? partir de ces fragments, il a assembl?, d?sassembl? et r?assembl? une s?rie d'oeuvres d?concertantes qui, de mani?re souvent d?cal?e, s'amusent de l'impuissance de la culture mat?rialiste ? cr?er, d?finir, pr?server ou diffuser toute notion d'identit?. Le travail, d'Eric Schumacher ?crit le commissaire d'exposition Dan Brown, s'apparente ? ??une recherche d'une harmonie insaisissable, contrari?e par les in?galit?s et les compromis du quotidien, une g?om?trie pure construite avec des mat?riaux insuffisants et des outils inefficaces??.
