NORBERT FRENSCH 25. January – 9. March 2013 It is the supposedly quiet tones that Norbert Frensch strikes when he paints. But by doing so he develops an overwhelming virtuosity. With technical masterly precision he creates surfaces that sometimes look metallic, others velvety, depending on which light falls on them. Either in the series, which take a metal bowl as a starting point or in Frensch's picturesque landscape-tube works, the painting in itself is always the subject matter of his consistent exploration. Frensch's paintings do not tell stories. But we do get involved in them, as they unfold a vast reflection spectrum and we are invited to get lost in them for a while. (Text: Anna Feldhaus) Video Space: JOHANNA REICH "Behind the Screen" 25. January – 9. March 2013 Opening: 24. January 2013, 7 pm In her video work, Johanna Reich combines the new medium with the archaic perception and consciousness of seeing. Attracted by the impressions the night conjures, the artist sometimes shows, throughout her home town Cologne, images of herself projected onto building walls, as she dresses head to toe in black and then disappears onto the created images. Even though these are all optical illusions, they still make clear, like no other effect, how vision works and that the images not always have to do with reality, but instead arise in our minds.
