Radical Art – Wurzelpapiere
In the organizer's words:
Art exhibition by Sabine Handschuck:
The title of the exhibition is derived from the Latin term "radix" for root. In an elaborate process, Sabine Handschuck changes roots such as carrots, radishes or beet "radically", i.e. from the ground up. As in the production of papyrus, where the inside of the stems is peeled into strips, the artist cuts roots into thin slices, soaks and rolls them and joins them together to form a sheet of root paper without adding any binding agents.
Radishes are turned into feather-light sheets reminiscent of tissue paper. Parsnips captivate with their holey brittleness. Papers made from carrots resemble parchment to the touch. The colorfulness of beet paper shines when light shines through it. Each paper feels different, has its own smell, makes different sounds, sometimes crackling, sometimes barely audibly rustling when rubbed between the fingers. All papers show a characteristic signature and color and still reveal their vegetable structure.
The papers change over time, making transience visible. Some works are left in their natural state and their colors fade, others are colored or painted. In the latter, the luminosity of their color fields is preserved. Small breaks gradually appear in some of the papers, which determine the character of the artworks. Waves and folds in the filigree works show delicate vulnerability.
The vernissage on Friday, May 23 at 7.30 pm offers the opportunity to get to know the artist personally and to talk to her. You are very welcome!
