VALERIE KRAUSE

The title itself evokes a productive contradiction: the specificity of, “this one” coupled with the indeterminate concept of “landscape,” a term that resists fixed definition. In Krause’s view, landscape is both external and internal—a segment of space shaped by the viewer’s position, memories, and sensory impressions. It is a field where form emerges and dissolves, where continuity is punctuated by interruption, and where perception is in constant flux.

Throughout the exhibition, sculptural works unfold across multiple planes and axes—horizontal, vertical, diagonal—marked by moments of intersection and divergence. Organic gestures are counterbalanced by precise lines, angles, and curves. Forms arise through continuity, only to be fragmented, rearranged, or deliberately unsettled. Perhaps this rhythm of construction and deconstruction recalls the instability of memory, or the experience of a landscape glimpsed in motion.

Rather than offering finality, these works remain open—provisional fields of possibility. Krause is less concerned with fixed images than with processes: the becoming of form, the potential of spatial relationships, the emergence of internal images in the viewer’s mind. The exhibition becomes an invitation to inhabit this landscape as a site of transformation—both physical and perceptual.
