Auf Papier ist es Kunst – acht zeitgenössische Positionen mit Textil
Künstlerforum Bonn, DE
06.10. — 03.11.2024

The exhibition shows the diversity of the art form, which has long been under-recognised, through the participating artists. The actuality of textile art promises a positive change, to which this exhibition also contributes. Various media, such as objects, embroidered and woven images or performance art, are used to address and negotiate materiality. The artistic positions present thematic specialities, which are effectively staged, among other things, with space-consuming installations. The works are aesthetically pleasing and original, but at the same time they encourage reflection on important contemporary social issues and are brought into dialogue with each other in terms of content and visuality.
Exhibiting artists: Achim R. Kirsch, Alke Reeh, Andreas Kopp, Anna Eisermann, Gili Avissar, Karen Betty Tobias, Petra Deus und Veronika Moos
Curated by Sabine Klement and Susanne Grube
