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.
