The latest work from the Besitzarbeiten refers to Piet Mondrian’s series Pier and Ocean from 1915 which marked an important stage in his development towards abstraction. Each picture of the series consists of a flattened oval containing a composition of vertical and horizontal lines representing the stars in the sky and their reflections in the ocean. On the lower edge of each image, a pier jutting into the water has a calming and stabilizing function. The installation at the P.S.1 makes reference not only formally but also in content to these works: between the museum and the artist’s Berlin apartment lies the ocean, across which furnishings from his home were freighted per ship.
