After viewing Reiner Ruthenbeck's work at the Serpentine Gallery, I was very worried and concerned about what is seen as art today. It is moving towards immaterial art and very soon we will walk in a room with natural lighting and be told it is a piece of art. Although that is not what Ruthenbeck conveys in his installation he has acknowledged how immaterial art is becoming. ''We are moving towards immaterial art, yet we only approach it in small steps'' . Yet he composes an art piece in a space with furniture. Chairs and Tables. Chairs and tables you see every now and then; You travel to a gallery to see overturned chairs and tables, and then try to find meaning and something so elegant in the structure of his piece. So do you value the piece because it is an installation or because it has Reiner Ruthenbeck's name on it, or because the chairs scattered on the floor have some sort of relevance to your life. The image above is an installation to understand how and why people read, understand and relate to paintings and installations in today's world saturated with immaterial art. The shift from painting objects to using the objects themselves has a huge impact and heritage on art in the past and now.
