Ursula Blickle Stiftung, Karlsruhe, 2008:
Simon Denny works with fragile constructions that accumulate in space forming idiosyncratic narrative structures. Only in these ensembles do the individual – usually mundane – objects begin, through the contrast of their forms and material characteristics, to generate a friction that produces a strange tension and at the same time order. Seeming to lack past and context, the individual objects and material elements blend into a complex ramified whole. Whereas Bircken’s amorphous objects follow compositional structures, Denny’s installations appear at first glance to be randomly put together, but upon closer examination one notices the many interrelated details. His materials are not “raw ingredients” taken from nature but already processed utility items taken out of their normal functional context.
