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.

Kuratiert von Dmytro Goncharenko, Inge Gräber, Heinz-Hermann Jurczek.
Eine Untersuchung und kritische Analyse der geopolitischen Aggression im XXI. Jahrhundert.

Es werden nicht nur Menschen vertrieben und getötet, sondern die Erde wird verbrannt.

Wer die Heimaterde der anderen zerstört, zerstört die eigene und sich selbst.

Auf Zerstörungskrieg und Vergewaltigung folgt Selbstzerstörung.

Unter den Füßen des Menschen die Erde.
Wenn ein Mensch läuft, dreht sich die Erde schneller. Wenn die Erde in Flammen gerät, brennt sie und ihre Überreste veraschen.
Verbrannte Erde qualmt am Horizont. Der Wind verbreitet eine Rauchschwade über die tauben Straßen und schwelenden Häuser.
Die Erde schwingt zwischen dem oberirdischen Schrei und dem Stöhnen im Untergrund, das Leben schenkt.
Die Erde derer, die darauf geboren wurden, aufwuchsen und es schafften, sich zu verlieben.
Die Erde besetzen – Besitz, Vergewaltigung und Vereinigung.
Aus der Vereinigung mit der Erde soll ein Dünger entstehen, eine organische stille Erlösung.

Dmytro Goncharenko
