In Rosemarie Trockel’s 2013 exhibition titled A Cosmos at Serpentine South Gallery Trockel traced a historical lineage from early curiosity cabinets (the wunderkammer), to natural history and modern art museums, through to the white cube of contemporary galleries. Within this framework, there was a focus on the relationship between skill and craft, and the practices of self-taught and under-recognised artists, reflecting Trockel’s ongoing tendency to overturn traditional disciplinary categories. The objects that made up this cosmos offered a wealth of resonant relationships between different fields of knowledge and experience, proposing that we remain open to new discoveries.
Similar to this exploration of resonant relationships, Trockel’s more recent works of Cluster constellations which bring together iPhone messages, and an array of images of her own historical works as well as digitally manipulated images examine what happens when imagery, objects and ideas are gathered and presented together.
For her limited edition Trockel presents a diptych poetically brings together text and image. Trockel's Cluster groups together poetic musings from her iPhone screen as well as a digitally manipulated image. This assemblage hints at the way we might organise thoughts or memories.
