ALEXIUS HUBER – sculptor (1939)
12 – 31 May 1972

Flashing light. Reflections of people seeking one another.
Machines. The chrome of car bumpers. Optical phenomena.
Disturbances in broken communication transmission.
Shadows of loneliness.

You beautiful metallic world, where the yellow blinking searchlight
draws patterns on the screen of the picture tube, the same patterns
as on the shoreline of the childhood lake. Do we remember correctly?
Childhood? Sun? Light? Untainted water?

Huber has created his objects out of aluminum, brass, plexiglass,
electric lamps. He has been fascinated by the gloss of metal, by
light’s reflections in dents and incisions, by the artificial patterns
produced by rotating plexiglass plates. Huber wants to teach us the
beauty of the world that surrounds us. At the same time, he makes us
aware of our growing emptiness, of all that we are on the verge of
losing: the fresh air, the living soil, the clear water, human solidarity,
community.
