The exhibition Walk The Line dedicated of 17 September to the 13th November 2010 in a differentiated analysis of the profession of the drawing. This is this is not the center but remains only as the basis of positioning of the three artists shown Erla Haraldsdottir, Philip Lörsch and Chiharu Shiota . Accordingly, you guessed all three artists, an idea that takes in the two-dimensionality of the drawing or the simplicity of the line its starting point.

Selection of works presented shows that concepts such as space, time, motion and stillness can get a whole new meaning by juxtaposed be compared or repealed. Thus, they question the works of the underlying medium of drawing, both by its functionality and timeliness. The three artistic positions related to their respective subjective way access to the drawing and interpreting them according to their own standards for new expressions to

Erla Haraldsdott í r (* 1967) mixed in their work, fiction and reality. They filmed documentary sequences, which they then combined with her pencil drawings, overlaid or expanded. The material contained in the cinematic reality is thus broken. Artist's memories and the visual perception of the environment in blending reality and fiction, creating a whole new dimension that no medium is assigned more clearly. The subscription covers the reality, pointing at the same time critical. The illustrative elements can be shown in the exhibition through the film Reynisdrangar between image and movement, fantasy and reality and her commute. The film is accompanied by drawings of the artist.

Work Lörsch Philip (* 1980) intervene directly in the room. His "drawings" are losing their two-dimensionality and expand as cut-outs from the room. In this case it involved physical content of questions by asking the strength of materials, optical effects and the difference between abstraction and figuration. The extra work created for the exhibition is thus directly to the exhibition space of the APEX Art Association and creates a connection between space, work of art and the viewer, is confronted with the presence of the object.

A native of Japan Chiharu Shiota artist (b. 1972) devoted to their skultpturalen objects of the basic idea of the line. This is the subject of their almost organic-looking installations, it mutates into a thread that wrapped everything, everything einspinnt and seemingly irritated the approach of a harmonious composition. It is so, objects are reminiscent of destruction, neglect and abandonment. And yet you stick to a beauty that exudes a similar poetry like a perfect spider web. The melancholy of not more forever touched woven and forever forgotten along seems to go with the anxiety and strangeness of woven objects that are inextricably linked with their surroundings. This is not the drawing to the view object, but the line developed a life of its own, gives the room a completely new rhythm and horrified as enraptured viewers alike.

The exhibition is funded by the State of Lower Saxony. Special thanks to the spontaneous and generous support of the North / Lb, and the Karstadt store in Göttingen .
