12 artcritics select drawings.
 

September 11th – October 24th 2009
 
Private View: Friday,  September 11th , 6 - 9 pm

at the joint opening night at Heidestrassen Galleries

A curatorial experiment: we invited 12 artcritics for a group show, asking each of them to nominate one artist, living in Berlin and working mainly in the field of drawing, who recently grasped their attention. The watchlist principle in a particular configuration.There was no limitation to the critics in terms of subject matter or drawing technique. This mode of choice produces a snapshot of the medium in its variety. It hereby enables the viewer to see manifold technical approaches as well as how drawing today is connected or disconnected to current theoretical discourses.

Fruehsorge contemporary drawing has been focussing on the medium since 6 years always trying to convey an overview about recent developments, if this is possible at all.

With this show we wanted to add another – the art critics' - perspective to our own, which sometimes might look for the too obvious or is too much guided by questions of personal taste. We are curious and invite you to discover what the reversal of roles, the critic turned curator will end up to.
