More Information
In the fragile moment just before something falls apart, time seems to change shape, turning to dust, slipping into memory, and moving onward.
This exhibition takes as its starting point the cycles of nature and its constant transformation. It traces shifts from stability to disintegration, from manual to digital processes, from darkness to light.
The viewer is invited into a spatial installation of paper, textiles and video, where each work carries traces of its own decomposition. Intricate jacquard fabrics with organic patterns are draped in layers alongside delicate paper objects shaped like plants. In the brightest openings, what has sprouted begins to break down; in the darkest corners, something new takes root. And so everything begins again. Nothing disappears, everything remains.

The exhibition "The Power of Paper" invites you to discover the versatility of paper as a visual material. From delicate folds to monumental installations, each work demonstrates how the artists push the boundaries of this everyday material. Paper exudes vulnerability and strength!
Ina Fekken presents small and large dioramas. These are hand- or laser-cut and based on forms from nature. The focus will be on works related to water. Just like paper, they are both fragile and powerful at the same time.

More Information
Fungi belong to the oldest and at the same time most hidden actors of life on Earth. The special exhibition FUNGA invites you to rediscover this independent kingdom – beyond the known fruiting bodies and far beyond the role of edible mushrooms.
The exhibition shows how fungi as mycelial networks control ecological cycles, build soils and enable symbioses without which life on land would hardly be conceivable. It traces from the ancient origins of fungi over their key role in nature and evolution to their close relationship with humans – for example in the skin and gut microbiome.
In addition to scientific insights, FUNGA also opens cultural perspectives: fungi as medicinal remedies, as part of rituals and myths, and as defining motifs in art and pop culture. Current research approaches on sustainable materials and biotechnological applications finally build the bridge into the future.
On display are various Mykobütten - fungi-paper and dyed fibers with fungus such as wool and silk.

“No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place”.
(Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way, 1913)
It is often a single detail that triggers a revelation. In Marcel Proust’s famous madeleine scene, a simple gesture, such as biting into a cake after dipping it in tea, acts as a sensory amplifier capable of triggering
a whole universe of images and emotions.
Fragments unfolds in this liminal perceptual space, where what is ambiguous, discontinuous and partial continues to challenge our gaze and mind.
For the first time ever, SAC is opening its doors to the public with a two-person exhibition. Silvia Beltrami and Giuseppe Gallace, previous visitors to this space as part of previous group exhibitions, are now participating in a direct exchange, a visual dialogue in which their sensibilities interweave and reflect off of one another.
Within this dialogue, the fragment asserts itself as a form of possibility. The works of Beltrami and Gallace inhabit a hybrid territory where what’s real, though shattered, remains alive.

More Information
Under the title ‘Paper Vibes 2.0’, three artists are exhibiting together in De Boterhal. What connects them is that all three work with or on paper. Their concepts and executions are different, but their idiosyncratic imagined worlds fit together wonderfully.
In her work, Josefien Alkema takes visitors on a walk through a landscape of her own creation, where attention is focused on organic structures and the dynamics of wind, water, and light. The basis for this is the graphic quality of drawing: ink, charcoal, or pencil on paper. By folding and modeling the paper, Alkema creates forms she calls “cosmic ornaments”: paper sculptures that are mysterious and abstract, but also tangible and earthy.
Jacqueline Kooter creates site-specific installations from torn and hand-painted paper. For her, the material paper and the act of tearing it represent the vulnerability and transience of humanity and nature at the hands of humans. The installations evoke a landscape experience that feels alienating.
Annechien Verhey draws on various sources: literature, art history, current events, and personal experiences. These different sources provide visual elements that she weaves together into a clear and spatial image that shows a world in fragments, open to different interpretations.

Location
Kunstmuseum in Marburg

More Information
For the first time, a comprehensive retrospective is showcasing large parts of the complete works of Marburg artist Katharina N. Eitel, who passed away ten years ago at the age of 70. Katharina N. Eitel was a co-founding member of IAPMA.
During her more than forty years as an artist, Katharina Natalie Eitel gained public recognition with her highly acclaimed large-scale paper installations from the ‘zeithaut’series in museums, a church and other exhibition venues, but she rarely exhibited individual paintings or drawings, her objects and experimental paper art.
On display will be a selection of her costumes created in London,
large-format sketchbooks, handmade papers with drawings and paintings, paper artworks, marbled pictures, photographs and the results of her artistic exploration of central themes such as dialogue, vessels, landscape, the past and the body.
