ERIC KRESSNIG „PLUS“

In his works, ERIC KRESSNIG combines reference systems from different areas with a formally reduced visual language. ‘What interests me most is the combination of the personal and individual with formal geometric forms of representation. To this end, I take up strategies of art production and develop them further. The introduction of my own laws and narratives in combination with immediate sensual experience form the basis of my concept of work.’

ANNEKE KLEIN KRANENBARG „Visuelle Partituren“

Fascinated by rhythmic repetitions and variations, especially in minimal music, the artist developed a rich oeuvre of graphic-spatial compositions from the simplest forms. Her ‘Visual Scores’ series consists of vertically arranged nylon threads, which she stretches over a double layer of Perspex. Viewed from the front, the compositions resemble each other; when the viewer changes their point of view, they dissolve into a multitude of variations and make spatiality tangible.
