Monochromie. Zur Ästhetik publizierter Kunst
In the organizer's words:
Exhibition at the Center for Artists' Publications
How versatile is monochrome? How colorful is monochrome? Whether in red, blue, green, white or black - monochrome works come in all colors and non-colors. Monochromy. On the aesthetics of published art shows the different ways in which contemporary artists deal with color.
Concepts with completely monochrome surfaces have emerged in the context of artists' publications since the 1950s with the aim of achieving the greatest possible simplification and concentration. The exhibition features works by over 60 artists who explore the various approaches to monochrome and its significance for art. The artists deal with aspects of absolute abstraction, emotions, color and emptiness, as well as the philosophical and religious understanding of nothingness. The monochrome is presented in the form of graphics, artists' books and journals, objects and paintings as well as in the context of sound art.
