An exhibition curated by Oliver Zybok
Certainties have long since disappeared from art. Its very essence is no longer defined merely by visualization, but also by an aesthetic of absence. By the aspect of absence, we do not mean a zero-point aesthetic, which foresees the end of art, but rather that processes of artistic reduction are addressed. In the work of the three artists Rowena Dring, Ute Lindner and Kei Takemura, presence and absence are in a relationship of close interaction. Spatial and temporal structures are continually questioned. Textile materials such as cotton, felt, silk or yarn play an important role for the three artists in the implementation of their works.
The Artists question perception as it relates to space and time. Their works deal with the longing for pictures in which the familiar and everyday are transformed into the unseen, the extra-ordinary and the unforeseeable. In the real sense of the term, the three artists are pictorial romantics, seeking for the moments when rational control of the picture is extinguished. Rowena Dring, Ute Lindner and Kei Takemura succeed in this frankness of pictorial language above all because each of their pictorial arrangements is balanced in a carefully considered manner.
