Description: Hartmut Böhm first conceived the idea for his new group of artworks -- the table piece group -- in 2013. These are arrangements of found objects from the studio -- drawing apparatus, working materials, working tools, adhesive tape rolls, index card boxes, invitation cards, and brochures -- on simple tables, arrangements in which the individual object becomes part of a formally developed vocabulary, a visually composed Arrangement. The artwork commissioned by the Daimler Art Collection, or-or, 2016, is a continuation of this series, and can be seen as a visual essay on the subject of his artistic oeuvre. Passing along this seven-meter-long display, the viewer passes through the vocabulary of Hartmut Böhm's intellectual landscape. This artwork, which contains a wide range of material from the realms of typographical objects, of artists' materials, and of selected objects from the studio, can be read in a number of different ways. The artist himself has offered the following terms for the consideration of anyone attempting to read the piece: matrix and metaphor, emptiness and volume, overlayering and penetration, system and syntax, form and structure.
