Drawing, painting, photography, object

Exhibition in the lecture theatre centre A14

From 29 June - 16 July 2015

According to which criteria does "serial work" take place in art?

In the project course "Serial Work" (WS 14/15 - Sose 15), examples from art history were analysed and criteria for own serial work were developed.

On the one hand, artistic works were created that take up the serial production processes of sculpture, printing and photography. On the other hand, other works generate series of drawings or paintings based on the same subject, which could be a chair, an abstract object or a piece of music, for example.

The "Heads" by Jennifer Backs and Pia Kleinichen take up the serial nature of the sculptural production process. They are moulded from plaster and wax based on clay models.

Lilian Petersen explores various printing techniques, her motif being Andy Warhol's "Campbell Soup Can".

Martina Brandorf listens to the same piece of music several times and simultaneously makes linear abstract recordings or examines a piece of music in a mathematically analytical way. The results are series of drawings and colour fields that follow precise specifications in terms of size and arrangement.

Kim-Nina Jordan uses search engines on the Internet to find results for well-known serial works, such as Monet's haystacks, and translates the various results of these searches into abstract wall objects. She also shows series of drawings with chairs and cubes as well as photo series created with a pinhole camera.

Katarzyna Klar builds a group of related abstract forms out of clay and uses them as a starting point for drawings.

Participants: Jennifer Backs, Martina Brandorf, Kim-Nina Jordan, Pia Kleinichen, Katarzyna Klar, Lilian Petersen,
