Like a bizarre cabinet of curiosities, Elke Hennen tells through cryptic arrangements of objects about her artistic need to create installative situations. Like archaeological artifacts, they transform not only a state of precise material, for example from mammoth and amber, but also the fragile connections between dis- and composition. Any kind of materiality changes into a personal vessel for the projections of the viewers. Bone-like, the path between the objects branches out: What was just robust and hidden is dissolved and made perceptible through its bizarre existence.
Judith Lindner paints and draws on wood, canvas, and paper. She pictorially weaves several layers of space and time, combines fragments of geometric and organic forms, plants, architectural constructions, and spatial formations, which can just as easily dissolve again. Many layers of color, both glazes and opaque, are applied on top of each other, sometimes also scraped away and lower layers exposed. Without the measure of the human body, the size ratios remain unclear, as does time. Nature overruns human work and reclaims its space.
