Katharina Hinsberg
cut-out drawing - April 23 until May 29, 2004

 

“Katharina Hinsberg draws abstract drawings in pencil, on simple sheets of paper. And she cuts the drawings from the paper, with the aid of scalpel. Finally she hangs the sheets with the empty spaces on the wall.
In Katharina Hinsberg´s oeuvre the artistic medium of drawing is not merely a means to an end, it does not contrive anything, but develops its own aesthetic, as well as, conceptual qualities: in the sense that drawing, beyond its evident aspects, as a medium of artistic exploration, experimentation, research and discovery, manifests more than just a line.”
(Julia Pascual)
