From March 12 to May 31, 2026, the Neubrandenburg Art Collection is showing works by Mecklenburg artist Dana JES in the cabinet exhibition in the series IM HIER IM JETZT. The exhibition will open on Wednesday, March 11, at 5 p.m. with texts by Stralsund writer Silke Peters.
Under the title "Fluglinien", the artist is showing ceramic objects, drawings and spatial installations that have emerged from her artistic exploration of the perception of time and the spaces within it.
Dana JES' works are situated between drawing and sculptural thinking and move with and between these media. Drawing as a way of working with and in pictorial space, as a basis for translation into spatiality, leads to an installative practice in which the elements are placed in relation to one another. The material ceramic with its various states - liquid, brittle, powdery, solid, soft, hard - is at the center of the artistic exploration and reflects the artist's interest in movement, fluidity and change. Forms of reduction, the exploration of the objects' relationships to the surrounding space and the resulting changes in perception as well as the processual nature of the themes addressed are essential to her work.
For the exhibition at the Kunstsammlung Neubrandenburg, Dana JES revisits the theme of "lines of flight", which originated in the artistic project "Apis mellifera". Based on observations of the spatial and temporal levels of the life of the European honeybee, its sounds, body and movements, the artist arrives at graphic and sculptural works that ultimately lead to an installation in space.
