Zilberman | Berlin is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Residual Entries by Yane Calovski.

In his first exhibition with Zilberman, Yane Calovski brings together new and existing work stemming from research he has conducted over a period of more than ten years. The core of the exhibition includes three installations: Undisciplined Construction of an Archive; then MAKEDONIUM: Dramaturgy of the Unfinished; and Schöning Revisited: Extensions, Chroma, Inflections. The source, as well as the subject, of these installations are institutional and private archives that have provided Calovski with material for addressing the ambivalent legacy of large-scale urban planning projects carried out in the 1960s and ’70s. Calovski starts by collecting material traces that furnish him with a way of approaching his subject—thus the title of this exhibition, Residual Entries. These may be pigments, or valuable artifacts and documents, but may also include everyday objects. Calovski treats all his materials equally. At other times, the artist re-constructs what is remembered, shaping it anew or transforming it, as if he would liberate the past for re-evaluation. Quite consciously, he focuses on the physical qualities of certain working materials, such as metal, wood, paper, or rubber, and on the way his installations, comprising objects, drawings and found material, are organized in space. He also incorporates performative elements into this interplay of arrangements and juxtapositions, thus emphasizing the importance of process in his working practice.
