Press Release

Fabienne Levy is pleased to present her first show of German artist Anna Fasshauer in Lausanne and Geneva. The artist shapes her sculptures using aluminum and industrial paint. The sound of Fasshauer’s hammer hitting aluminium goes ‘Boom Boom,’ a sound word also termed onomatopoeia. In her sculpture construction, the hammer serves as a vital tool, akin to a painter’s brush. Using only her body and a rivet gun, without the aid of assistants or machines, she transforms cold, rigid industrial materials into fluid and malleable. This close relationship with her pieces allows Fasshauer to express her own physicality through her work, maintaining her sense of whimsy and humor, often attributing humans features and evocative titles to her brightly colored sculptures.

Fasshauer’s meticulous technique alternates between construction and destruction. The noise made in the workshop is inherent to the work process, an aspect captured by the phonetically titled works that resonate with the sounds of her creative endeavor. This exhibition is a collaboration with Anna Fasshauer and Nagel Draxler Galerie. Each piece evokes movement through its folds and curves. Her sculptures reveal a deceptively precarious balance. The playful aspect transports us back to the carefree days of childhood.

Anna Fasshauer (*1975 in Cologne) graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London in 2001. She has exhibited her work in group and solo shows around the world, including venues such as the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, Kunstverein Offenburg and Kunstverein Arnsberg in Germany, and the Goethe Institute in Beirut. She lives and works in Berlin.
