Audience during the hypnosis/meditation session in Dortmund, D Audience drawing sketches for the imagined sculptures, after hypnosis/me-ditation session in Basel, CH
Example of a scketch of animagined sculpture
I presented a lecture/performance inseveral venues around Europe and inBrazil, where I introduced myself andmy way of producing and thinkingabout art.
After each lecture, I led the audiencethrough a hypnosis/meditation sessi-on, during which I asked them, basedon what they had heard, to imagineme working on a new sculpture.
After waking the audience from theirdream-state, I asked them to sketchthis imagined sculpture.
For the exhibition NEW FRIENDS (Partof the Centro Cultural So Pauloexhi-bitions program), I produced a seriesof small ceramic sculptures of all thesketches done by those audiences, aswell as a series of sculptures inspiredby these sketches.

After having my art practice descri-bed by the nine female curators ofthe show (all students of Kunstkritikund Kuratorisches Wissen an derRuhr-Universitt Bochum) when theyinvited me to present my work at theDortmunder Kunstverein, I decided toconstruct the whole exhibition basedon this aspect of communication.
In response to the invitation, I askedall 9 curators of the show to describethemselves, as well as their favoritesculptures and favorite paintings.
With those descriptions in hand, Ivetranslated them from German to Por-tuguese and found Brazilian artisansto produce the works for the show ba-sed only on the descriptions providedby the curators.

I developed a sculpture KIT consistingof an assortment of components.
These components were based onmaterials which, after research th-rough galleries in Berlin, I recognisedrepeated again and again.
Several artists were then asked to de-velop pieces related to their practicesbut using only the materials offered inthe kits.
The sculptures produced with the KITwere presented in a show and namedafter each artist who developed them.

Curated Sculpture #7 by Carson Chan
Curated Sculpture #7 byGiovanni Carmine
(...)The exhibition Not the New, Notthe Old, But the Necessary. operatesat different levels of conceptual appro-aches such as abstraction, participa-tion and curation. Wirz continues hisseries of Curated Sculptures for thisexhibition by inviting John Beeson,Giovanni Carmine, Carson Chan andRebecca Lamarche-Vadel to curatea selection of artworks out of a list of
243 artworks from the artists that Pe-dro Wirz collaborated in the lastfour years.
As the main conceptual ground forthe show, the traditional art form fromJapanese culture, Origami which isbased on folding paper is used notonly as an artistic technique but alsoas an expression of abstraction inWirzs show. Reconsidering the impactof Japanese culture in Brazil, and brin-ging along his childhood experience
with Origami, Wirz aims to create asocial network of ideas, images, andpractices in the form of an exhibitionand an artist book.
Quoting from one of his life-time ins-pirations, Sol LeWitt, Pedro Wirz crys-tallizes the fundamental aspect of hismethodological strategy. Irrationalthoughts should be followed abso-lutely and logically., and The con-cept of a work of art may involve thematter of the piece or the process inwhich it is made.. Wirz investigates thepossibilities of exchanging roles and
positions in the art world, demandingcuriosity to experiment on the basisof the main question: What happenswhen we shift South to West, artist tocurator, and paper to sculpture or viceversa?

A rough zig-zag pattern, painted onthe wall carelessly. Hanging on thatwall, ve black and white patternedplastic ngernails, embedded in aoversized white frame. The surfacesof the ngernails are different partsof the smae pattern (...). This arrange-ment was a conceptual approach thatPedro Wirz - in collaboration with fas-hion designer Sara Vidas - developed:
Three representative artworks in thehistory of modern art were selectedby the two artists and then presentedto a nail designer, who chose one ofthem as the pattern for the nails. Thechosen artwork was a painting fromthe series Black Paintings by Frank

For this work, done in collaborationwith my former teacher and artistJrg Stuble, I developed a group ofsix plinths made of pine wood. Theplinths were then cut into, creatinggrooves throughout the surfaces.
They were then delivered to JrgStuble who, on my request, made anew series of works that were some-how limited or/and oriented aroundthese openings or grooves. Throughthis given limitation, the two sculptu-ral elements created a new whole.

(...)Sculpture Exquise, Pedro Wirz new con-
tribution to How to Work (More for) Less,
is not located in the exhibition space, but
attached to the exterior wall of the ground
floor gallery of the Kunsthalle: the Kunst-
halles back wall, in the public passage way
between Elisabethenkirche and the Basel
city theatre. The eight wooden sculptures
mounted on the black painted wall are the
result of collaboration between the artist
and his artist friends and executed by the
sculptor Simon Ledergerber of the Kunstbe-
trieb AG in Mnchenstein. In the first step,
sketches of possible sculptures were made,
using the method Cadavre Exquis (exquisite
corpse) devised by the Surrealists. The prin-
ciple consists in creating a text or drawing
with a group of people in such a way that the
sheet of paper is folded after each sketch or
piece of text is made so that the next player
can see only the last bit, but does not know
what the entire drawing or text looks like.
The results are collectively created forms
and phrases connected in random order. Wirz
then had these drawings transferred into
three-dimensional sculptures in pine wood.
On the wall, the sculptures seem like totems
belonging to an unknown rite which in a
certain sense they are, if one thinks about
their origin in a group activity involving un-conscious actions.
Sketches for the sculptures done in collab-
oration with: Adrian Bnzli, Jan Hostettler,
Karim Noureldin, Karolina Pyrcik, Philipp Re-
inau, Jelena Savic, Silvia Studerus and Tobias
Willa.

Ongoing series in collaboration withdifferent artist and curatorsMixed mediaDimensions variable
This series of works explores myinterest in three-dimensional objects,sculptures and installations indialogue with my views as a curator.
The curated sculptures are objectsthat simultaneously serve as aplatform for curated exhibitions.
I invite various curators to organisean exhibition on my objects. In otherwords, I invite a curator to inviteartists of their choice to exhibit theirwork on my sculpture. In this way mysculpture becomes the host for a newexhibition.
My main interest lies in investigatingthe various roles between artists andcurators. Where do the boundariesappear and subsequently disappearbetween the different practitioners inthe ne arts, where do they dissolveand where do they becomeapparent?
The assumption that a work of art isthe result of cooperation betweenmany participants and thus can neverbe autonomous is the point of depar-ture in the practice of Basel-basedartist Pedro Wirz. Wirz, a consumma-te, highly energetic puller of strings,works as an artist and curator of thecollective the forever ending story,showing a great talent for integrating
other people into his projects andlinking them to one another. For hisproject Curated Sculptures (2010-)he designs a variety of displays likecubes, pedestals, shelf boards or han-ging structures made of ropes, andthen invites a curator or artist to usethem to display things in this man-ner sculptures containing collectionsof plants, texts and works of otherartists have been realised(...)
