Frank Bölter (DE): On a Voyage
On a Voyage focuses the childhood dream of taking the simplest of means – a sheet of paper and a little imagination – and using it to create a vehicle with which to travel into unlimited realms of fantasy. In becoming reality, the dream loses its sense of unlimited possibility, thus revealing that it is in precisely this quality that its true essence lies.
Frank Bölter (DE)
Frank Bölter began using his work to challenge expectations both inside and outside the academic art world while a student at the Münster Academy of Art from 1998 to 2003.
Bölter’s projects are distinguished equally by their powerful poetic imagery and by the precision of their execution, often carried out under the difficult conditions of the public sphere. Moreover his projects are predicated on an impressive effort to communicate, which leaves traditional definitions of object and practice behind and expands his installations into the realm of the performative.“ (J. van den Berg, Columbus Art Foundation)
