JIRI SVESTKA GALLERY, BERLIN (DE)
While this year’s Berlin Art Week celebrates the durability of painting and its relevance in contemporary art, Jiri Svestka Berlin entitles a group exhibition specifically to another, yet similarly classic carrier material of art: paper. Based on Paper brings together different graphic expressions; thus allowing a promising insight into today’s artistic practice. The orientation along the paper’s format as well as its structuring and superior entity unites the exhibited positions of the group show.
The Hungarian artist Dora Eszter Molnar (*1985, HU) chose for her printed graphic series Impersonally Customized an extraordinary carrier material. Amid the structured chaos of the timeworn 1980ies pattern paper, faceless figures appear that seemingly subordinate to the customized templates, but at the same time ask the existential question: “Do you think I’m stupid?”
