Roland Fuhrmann Valuta
In "Valuta," artist Roland Fuhrmann intimates in various objects and installations the absurdity of conventional value judgments. For example, four large conveyor belts on which innumerable coins are transported illustrate the futility of the monetary cycle as the foundation for our free-market system of values. Fuhrmann is especially interested in the automobile, the object many Germans seem to value most highly: one installation simulates a never-ending traffic jam. In other works, Fuhrmann reflects on our system of moral values. Born in 1966 in Dresden, Roland Fuhrmann has been regarded for several years now as one of Germanys premier object artists. He studied at Burg Giebichenstein, then under Christian Boltanski at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Many of the objects he has designed for buildings have gained him widespread acclaim, such as the artworks in the Stadtwerke and Max Planck Institute in Halle.
