true stories
It is all about the singular string, the one line, and the multi-layered paper cut outs.
In this exhibition I will be showing pieces that were made throughout the past 3 years. Work directly linked to certain phrases and sentences. Drawings, paintings or collages are portraying, translating, conducting or detouring collected word-chains, snippets or sounds. It is advisable to visit the show with a price list in your hans, as there will be additional text coming and going with each piece.This solo show carries the title true stories, and is the first exhibition in the newly restored gallery in the king’s pavilion. You will find it in the left wing of Veitshöchheim’s former train station. The exhibition starts with an opening reception on October 1st at 6 pm, and continues until Saturday, October 25. Please come by and visit.
