Verbindungen

In the organizer's words:

"Connections" - annual art project Gruppe Neun

Art exhibition, film screening, reading, music, discussion

Many different connections exist in our lives - between living beings, cultures, ideas or materials. Artistic forms of expression depict the complexity and diversity of connections.
Drawn portraits show an interplay of filigree expression and sketched snapshot, realistic pictures go beyond the depicted with different references. An electricity pylon towers into the sky, from which numerous cables project.
The works on display create spaces for their own connections, including implied ones, which viewers can think further about how and in what context they exist and perhaps also where they might end.

Recognizing connections - concrete, existing, but also subtle or contradictory ones - provides scope for contact, confrontation, but also for processes of awareness. And they usually have something comforting and hopeful about them, as connections also stand for an existing bond - in the here and now, to one's own roots, traditions or perhaps also to the hereafter, to the deceased.
Connections between created works, between artists. Bringing together, connecting, coming into contact, relationship and combination. Connecting, through a line. For example, from a drawing on the iPad, a continuation of this idea is created on large-format canvases.

The line is the building block, the element that gives structure and cohesion to the whole: the connection; the common thread. The photographs shown by Leslie Wist, for example, are part of the "Unterwegs" series. The connection is created by the way the photographs are taken. As she drives and walks through cities, towns and landscapes, she observes the passing scenes intensively and presses the shutter release. The results are photographs that have captured time and allow viewers to immerse themselves in a world that would otherwise have remained hidden from them. The connection is the journey and the artist's individual perspective.
