Monique S. Desto und Klaartje van Essen Erosion Arranged: we sink, I stretch, you flow
In the organizer's words:
The GAK is pleased to announce the double exhibition Erosion Arranged: we sink, I stretch, you flow by Monique S. Desto (*1989, lives in Hamburg) and Klaartje van Essen (*1998, lives in Amsterdam). In their works, both artists pursue an expanded pictorial practice that is characterized by a sensitivity for the relationship between painting, sculpture, memory and space. Their works move from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional and back again, stretching, stretching, supporting and rubbing each other. Negotiations between fragility, wear and tear and spatial arrangement have also been incorporated into the exchange in which Monique S. Desto and Klaartje van Essen, who did not know each other before, have set the common framework for this exhibition.
Monique S. Desto and Klaartje van Essen share an interest in traces and impressions, abrasion and dissolution. The latex with which Desto paints absorbs traces of its support material in three dimensions, but gradually dissolves itself when it is exhibited; van Essen continually recycles materials that she or others have already used in her sculptural practice. In their double exhibition, the two artists approach each other through a material and aesthetic-practical exchange.
