DESCRIPTION

My Tools
Tools have belonged to Jim Dines favorite motifs since his beginnings as an artist, and are a passion born in his childhood, when his grandfather and later his father ran a hardware store in Cincinnati. This title provides insight into Dines' photographic exploration of this multifaceted theme.
Jim Dine ist mit Werkzeugen aufgewachsen. Sein Grossvater, Morris Cohen, betrieb ein Eisenwarengeschaft und pflegte ein liebevolles Verhaltnis zu Hammern, Bohrern, Sagen, Zangen, Messern und Schraubenziehern. Cohen konnte damit einfach alles reparieren was den Enkel auf magische Weise anzog. Diese Anziehung ist von jeher in Jim Dines Werk spurbar. Und zwar in besonderer Weise: Bleiben die Hilfsmittel beinahe jeder Kulturtechnik zumeist im Verborgenen, stellt Dine ihre Asthetik extra heraus, macht sie zum Subjekt seiner Arbeit. Hier schliessen sich Handwerk und Kunst nicht aus, im Gegenteil: Sie starken einander. "Ich begann begeistert damit, Werkzeuge zu fotografieren, die sich auf dem Fussboden meines Ateliers hauften. Das waren eigentlich Objekte, die ich damals zeichnen wollte. Nachdem ich sie aber fotografiert hatte, schienen sie mir plotzlich Abbilder hoffnungsloser Landschaften zu sein oder Rontgenbilder von dem Larm in meinem Kopf."Vom Ambos bis zur Zange fuhrt Dine nahezu zartlich das merkwurdig Lebendige seiner Werkzeuge vor sowohl zufallig als auch arrangiert tummeln sich Farbbehalter und -tuben, Pinsel, Lappen, Schraubzwingen, alle Schneiden und Zangen mit rotem Griff, Scheren kopfuber und kopfunter, grune Spaten in Reih und Glied. Diese Fotografien markieren die poetische Seite und die Schonheit der stofflichen Gegenstandswelt. Tools have belonged to Jim Dines favorite motifs since his beginnings as an artist, and are a passion born in his childhood, when his grandfather and later his father ran a hardware store in Cincinnati. My Tools provides new insight into Dines ongoing photographic exploration of this multifaceted theme. In large-format black-and-white and color photographs, as well as heliogravures produced between 2001 and 2014, he explores the formal vocabulary of individual objects, their materials, as well as their collective constellations and surrounding spaces. Dine defines himself as an artist through the tools and objects he creates with his own hands.His analog photographsthemselves creations of a complex tool, the cameraare both true to the objective appearance of his tools, while opening up our field of imagination.
