Opening and closing Pousttchi’s exhibition on the Kunsthalle’s ground floor are two installations of sculptural works that make use of crowd-control barriers, those sculptures of public infrastructure designed to manage cheering crowds, parades, or demonstrations. In this series of Double Monuments for Flavin and Tatlin (2010), the white-painted and vertical steel barriers have been twisted around and set atop each other to form structures resembling the seminal Monument to the Third International. Designed in 1920 by Vladimir Tatlin (1885–1953) to commemorate the Bolshevik Revolution, the spiraling, 400-metre-tall high-rise was only finally realized as a model, which was then presented at the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale. Tatlin’s monument to the collective forces of revolution was also invoked in Dan Flavin’s series of thirty-nine sculptures he called “monuments to V. Tatlin” (1964–1990), which featured fluorescent tubes arranged in shapes as various as pyramid and early skyscraper. With a dose of sly humor, Pousttchi’s series pays homage to the champions of, respectively, Constructivism and Minimalism—or perhaps stages a battle, Tatlin vs. Flavin, by piercing the steel structures of her “Double Monuments” with light tubes.
