<LEUTMOTIVE LEITMOTIFS>: In the work of Austrian sculptor Christian Ruschitzka (born 1962), everyday objects that are taken for granted find themselves tested. Items of found furniture are "skinned"; individual layers of enamel in plastic wrap are paraded on the wall; garden rakes are elevated to the status of pylons. This volume surveys works of the past 12 years.
