OPEN CLASS by Schirin Kretschmann | Marked Spaces

19th March 2024, at 5:00pm | in FBAUP's Aula Magna

Schirin Kretschmann’s work oscillates between painting as installation art and its liminal convergences with process-based practices. Her artistic work is situational and processual in that it takes an artistic gesture as a point of departure and initiates developments or fluctuating processes, in which the viewers themselves usually play an active role and perception is understood to be a multifaceted, synaesthetic, constantly changing and thus unfinished process. The intervention of a material in a specific exhibition context is always a direct reaction to the conditions of the respective context and its material components.

Organised by Doctoral Programme in Fine Arts [FBAUP]
