Vernissage "Radical Art - Wurzelpapiere"

In the organizer's words:

Vernissage of the 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 the papers show a characteristic signature and color and still reveal their plant structure.

The vernissage offers the opportunity to meet the artist in person and talk to her. You are very welcome!

Duration of the exhibition: 23.05. to 05.07.2025
