Florian Roithmayr: With, And, Or, Without

with, and, or, without presents an ambitious body of new sculpture works and is Florian Roithmayr’s largest solo show to date and his first in a London public gallery. Roithmayr works with moulding and casting in their everyday and specialist applications, imagining and presenting the non-linear imprint, traces and transformations of these processes as unforeseeable gestures occurring in the interstice between mould and cast; the consequence of one surface, material or body yielding another.

Interested in the intuitive and speculative consequences that develop, which are sometimes impossible to observe, his practice is often based on heuristic discovery where the unforeseeable - withdrawn to the point of invisibility - has its own kind of public. Roithmayr's concern for everyday environments is supported by his research of history, design and archaeology and their dissemination and understanding in popular culture.
