“SPACELINER” GROUP EXHIBITION AT ARTER

15 May–2 August 2015

Curated by Barbara Heinrich

ARTER will host a group exhibition entitled “Spaceliner” between 15 May and 2 August 2015.

Curated by Barbara Heinrich, “Spaceliner” will attempt to examine the stylistic vocabulary of contemporary drawing and will present artists whose works explore the relationship between drawing and space. “Spaceliner” will illustrate working methods and approaches of contemporary drawing production through the works of Peter Anders, Sandra Boeschenstein, Pip Culbert, İnci Eviner, Monika Grzymala, Nic Hess, Gözde İlkin, Harry Kramer, Pauline Kraneis, Hans Peter Kuhn, Zilla Leutenegger, Pia Linz, Christiane Löhr, Ulrike Mohr, Jong Oh, Nadja Schöllhammer and Heike Weber. As the concept of drawing expanded in the 1960s, drawing itself proliferated to other genres and media, and developed wide-ranging dialogues with installation art and sculpture, video, film and photography as well as with environmental art. In this regard, “Spaceliner” will attempt to grasp the epistemological qualities that define the medium of drawing as well as its interpretation in other media.

All of the works presented in “Spaceliner” stem from a mode of thinking rooted in drawing, which differentiates the artistic outcomes from spatial installations in general. This approach manifests itself in the choice of materials and their use. Above all, it is revealed in the works’ graphic intensity and how lines are used within the space. The aspect of motion is integral to the works’ conception, leading to discourse on the tension between spatial image and actual experience in space. The architectural/physical structure of the exhibition space at ARTER will become the boundaries of the images produced. Therefore, lines that define the walls, the floors and the windows will echo in the works and vice versa. The diversity of the materials and the range of the techniques used in the production of the works in “Spaceliner” will underline the multi-faceted quality of drawing production.
