The comic - a boundless space full of narrative possibilities
Comics are far more than just stories drawn on paper. They create fascinating narrative worlds and offer a space full of creative possibilities. Figures and landscapes emerged from the pages of books early on and can be experienced as three-dimensional objects. Increasingly, artists are extending the comic into space - through installations, sculptures and walk-in objects. The Klingspor Museum presents a diverse selection of works that impressively illustrate how comics can grow beyond the classic book format. Thirteen contemporary comic artists bring their drawn stories into the exhibition space and allow them to be experienced in a variety of ways - through large-scale illustrations, ceramic and textile figures, walk-in objects and sound installations. In addition to the three-dimensional works, original drawings, sketches and a selection of current comics will also be on display.
The exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the multi-layered genre of comics - boundless, expansive and full of narrative possibilities.
