The work of Michail Pirgelis (*1976) updates the traditions of post-minimalism, the readymade and conceptual art while simul-
taneously resisting them. His process usually begins with found materials from aircraft cemeteries in California and Arizona, where
disused passenger planes wait to be dismantled and recycled. The Cologne-based artist explores the limits of our understanding of
objects, while radically expanding our experience of the sculptural.
