RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR
Wuhan – Munich

Digital exhibition in the public space of the city of Munich

A digital exhibition project initiated by Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Digital Art Space Munich; Kulturreferat Munich and the artist group Rhythm Section Munich.

Funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts; Cultural Foundation of Stadtsparkasse Munich; Ströer; Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Guangzhou D-Lab Cultural Development Co., Ltd; Villa Waldberta, Artists’ House of the City of Munich.

Due to the pandemic and zero covid strategy, the exhibitions of artists from Wuhan can hardly be presented and communicated abroad. The distance between Chinese artists and viewers in Europe is greater than ever. How can artists bring works closer to the public with a flight distance of 8,376 km between Wuhan and Munich?

Digitization influences and changes daily life, relationships, work and even elections. Urban development is taking the form of a megamedium.

Smart city stands for intelligent networking within a city. Moving images are a trendy topic for media in public spaces. Moving images on public video screens offer the opportunity for effective communication with mobile audiences in passing.

The Stachus Passagen – Europe’s largest underground shopping center – is located in the middle of Munich’s city center, directly at Karlsplatz/Stachus. From August 28 to September 7, 2023, from 6 a.m. to midnight, digital artworks by 5 artists from Wuhan and 5 artists from Munich will be broadcast on the public video stations of the Stachus Passagen, between the everyday mixture of editorial content and advertising.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a digital gallery in public space that gives artists the opportunity to be seen and invites viewers to participate in the development of digital art. Art opens itself to the public and even to the public that does not come to the museum.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a sustainable project, because no resources are consumed. The project uses the existing screens of the public urban space.

Art X Augsburg zeigt vom 9. Juli bis 5. August 2023 im Projektraum augsburg contemporary Arbeiten von Veronika Wenger und Florian Lechner

Veronika Wenger lotet in ihrem künstlerischen Schaffen die Möglichkeiten der Zeichnung aus. Zarte, wie hingehauchte Linien von poetischer Ästhetik kontrastieren mit kraftvollen, dynamischen Strukturen. Wengers Arbeiten entfalten sich zwischen den Polen der Abstraktion und der Gegenständlichkeit. Sie zeigen Anklänge an Architekturen, an Körper, an Schrift. Obgleich die Arbeiten einen Anlass in der gegenständlichen Welt haben, verliert im Laufe des künstlerischen Prozesses das Referenzobjekt seine Bedeutung. So bleiben auch vermeintliche Wörter in ihrer Unlesbarkeit reine Linien. Veronika Wenger arbeitet auf MDF, auf Papier und Pappe und nutzt neben verschiedenen Stiften auch Sprays. So entstehen teilweise leuchtende Farbflächen, die filigrane Linien überlagern.

A HYDROGRAPHY 8 BOOK

No Comments

This group of 25 artists from home and abroad, united under the name Hydrography has been creating international exhibitions in varying combinations since 2013. So this year they are celebrating their 10th anniversary!

Veronika Wenger Hydrography

The group is fluid, just like the material these artists work with. In fact, they seek the challenge of using the “traditional” medium of watercolor in a new abstract way. Watercolor or watercolor is pure pigment combined with gum arabic and water. The strength of the color can range from light and transparent to super intense. Each pigment has its own specific gravity so each color behaves differently.

The artists are guided in part by gravity and chance. The paint is the boss, but the artist masters the technique and knows the material. It is a search for the possibilities in order to get to the essence; the purity of material and form.

I thank Iemke van Dijk, Henriëtte van ‘t Hoog, Alex de Vries and artvark.nl for this publication.

Not to be confined by the greatest, yet to be contained within the smallest is a definition, which declared the enterprise of the artists group Rhythm Section.

The substantive trait, which linked the artists of the group Rhythm Section in their works is the commitment to a hyper reflexivity in dealing with the rhythm, not as a compulsion, but as an original constant. The clear handling of the rhythm allows an endless variety of individual variations.

Rhythm Section is a platform for artists, who are interested in an exchange on the subject rhythm in the visual arts.

Rhythm Section consists not only of visual artists representing installation, drawing, video, sculpture, painting, digital art to name a few, but also of art critics and theorists, philosophers, teachers for rhythm and movement.

Parallel to the group shows, Rhythm Section organizes artist talks, lectures and symposiums on the subject rhythm in visual arts.
