Painting Objects

„Painting Objects“ is, depending on one’s perspective, a more familiar or more detached look at painting. The exhibition features pictures that have become objects − pictures created by time, coincidence or discovery. Layers of varnish, spray mist, folds of fabric or dye powders stop the eyes from penetrating deeper into the image. The works concentrate more on the edges of the picture, on the surface and its presence in real space.

With works by Joachim Bandau, Marcel Frey, Federico Maddalozzo, Marie Reinert and Barbara Trautmann.
