One Legged, 2001,
wood, artificial leather , polyester wool,
105 x 55 x 27 cm
The objects of Nadine Rennert are highly charged semantically. The artist plays on a keyboard of different associations which are as well integral part of the material as of its form. The narration is not explicitly described, but left in a condition of insinuation and vague inkling.

(…)
The irritating erotic object that is not able to stand on its own but leans at the wall, triggers different reactions from the observer, which are dependent of this particular disposition.
Functional Landscape, 2001
artificial grass carpet, artificial leather, artificial fur, acrylic mirror,
app. 20 x 400 x 400 cm
The functional landscapes of the Berlin based artist are playgrounds with mirrors, of which several are mounted on different places. They increase the mani-foldness of the works which are always ambiguous. Also on display in the exhibition are her earlier objects, buxomly padded, partly constricted fetishs, which connect an explosive contradictory unity of pulsing eroticism and turned off monstrosity.

Sugar, 1999
sugar, stretch fabric, depth app. 177 cm
These “flowers” celebrate their blossoming with thunder like energy, that replaces space and is frozen in the movement. The artist succeeded to keep the unfolding form on its climax, in the moment of its uttermost tension force.
