Nina Canell & Robin Watkins

Nina Canell works with various synthetic and organic materials as well as found objects and everyday objects. The artist is particularly interested in chemical and physical processes and in the inherent transformational energy of objects and has created her own sculptural sign system. "Muscle Memory" shows, amongst other recent works created especially for Baden- Baden, "Otic Pit": a cochlea cast from basalt whose vibration-mechanical properties as part of the inner ear of mammals contribute to the dissolution of different pitches.
