For the most part chronological, the presentation is arranged into four rooms that represent both the artist's major geographical phases and his intimate relationship with his materials. His use of raw plaster, at times tinted, heightens the impression of works in search of equilibrium. The second room centers on hybrid and experimental pieces that bridge the gap between the early figuration and the immersive, architectural sculpture included in his current work.
The third room is home to monumental and darker visions. The fourth room is devoted to the immersive sculpture, Cast Studio stage — chairs —bed — mound — cave — bath — grave , made especially for the exhibition. Since then he has continued to respond to gallery, museum and urban spaces: he works with materials he finds on-site, assembles items he can handle on his own, and produces works that combine real presence with a spatial integration so effective that they seem to have been there forever.
In the Andre oeuvre the artwork changes status: it is no longer a symbolic or figurative element, but a real object that is as much a part of the world as a tree or a wall. In the course of the s his notion of sculpture evolved, first as form, then as structure and finally as place: "I have desires," he told Marta Gnyp in an interview in For me it is a physical desire to find the material and a place to work. Designed by the Dia Art Foundation in close collaboration with the artist, this retrospective has already been seen in New York , Madrid and Berlin , and will subsequently travel to Los Angeles Athens Biennale Alicja Kwade.

Fire, the inspiration for the exhibition's title, is a technical resource sparking not only precise properties and functions, but also specific counter-aesthetics and an imaginative richness sometimes verging on the radically utopian.
In many respects ceramics is an art of resistance. The recognition of a "Ceramic Age"— one, strangely enough, never previously acknowledged — seems today more obvious than ever. In addition, the exhibition will find an echo in a selection of ceramic works belonging to the museum and on display within the permanent collection.
