Strichstärke - postscriptum & Truc Troc - Kunst im Tausch

In the organizer's words:

Double exhibition Strichstärke and Truc Troc

As in 2024, "Truc Troc - Art in Exchange" focuses on printmaking. The artists selected after an open call can offer up to three works for exchange, covering various themes and a wide range of graphic arts. For their part, visitors can consider what offer they would like to make in return. What is the art worth to you? What do you have to offer that might interest the artists? It remains exciting to see what agreements are made. The works and the offers made on post-its remain part of the presentation until the end of the exhibition. The idea behind Truc Troc is to promote accessibility to art for all people and to expand the creative process. Some artists are participating for the second time.

About Strichstärke: The "Strichstärke - Projekte zur Zeichnung" series initiated by artists Katja Butt and Karin Hochstatter in 2017 is coming to Bonn for the first time with a group exhibition. The exhibition "Strichstärke - postscriptum" focuses on the casual and sketchy nature of drawing as well as the graphic work from still image to moving image. The presentation on the first floor of the Künstlerforum experiments with superimposition, reconfiguration, reaction and change in the medium of drawing. A cooperative site-specific floor work on transparent paper, created by eight artists in the large hall, is remarkable. It is flanked by an extensive film program and installations.
