Paper. Alive, changeable, indispensable: curator's tour of the exhibition with Christin Sobeck
What digitization declares to be finished proves to be amazingly alive in art: Paper carries ideas, makes processes visible and itself becomes the material for objects and installations.
Curator Christin Sobeck guides visitors through the exhibition, in which works by Pablo Picasso and the Berlin artists Renée and Thomas Rapedius come together. For Picasso, paper was often the starting point for his inexhaustible innovative power - in drawings and prints, he tested new techniques and constantly developed his visual language. The works on display from the Klewan Collection reveal over three decades of his graphic work.
Paper also plays a central role in Renée and Thomas Rapedius' work: in addition to drawings and photographs, their exploration extends into space, even to the point of imitating the material. Experience paper in all its diversity: as surface and body, as support and object, as material and illusion.
