PAINTING AS PRESENCE: THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG

HAPPENINGText: Yoshito Maeoka

The exhibition “Painting As Presence: This Is Not A Love Song” is aimed at visitors who are curious and interested – parallel to the Berlin Biennial – in getting to know positions of painting with very different references and origins, the majority of which nonetheless emerged in Berlin.

The exhibition refers to the essence of the phenomenon of painting, whereby it also involves certain elements critical of the media. The works of progressive 2D artists, including artists in residence are exhibited here. Drawing media and the essence of the phenomenon of painting are the main emphasis of the selected art works.
