When the European Fluxus group disbanded in 1964 after two eventful
years, Tomas Schmit (1943-2006), who had participated in the
group's actions as a performer, gradually withdrew from performing.
From 1966 he devoted himself primarily to writing and drawing. But
the idea of the stage as a place where an action is performed in
front of and with an audience did not disappear from his art. From
then on, Schmit staged "the performance of drawing" on paper. The
close interlocking of performance and drawing practice that
characterizes Schmit's entire oeuvre will be brought into focus for
the first time in the exhibition of the Kupferstichkabinett, which
will take place in the fall of 2021, and in the accompanying
catalog. At the same time, the project reflects the manifold
spectrum of Schmit's nearly 40 years of comprehensive drawing and
language art.

The history of monochrome painting goes back more than a century.
Since Kazimir Malevich revolutionized the art world in 1915 with
his "Black Square," which was based on a single colour surface,
this artistic form of expression has taken many different paths and
never lost its fascination. The distinctive works of Norwegian
painter Thomas Pihl join this tradition: they do not tell a story
about a motif, but nevertheless, occupy the physical and mental
spaces that surround them. They invite the viewer to interact,
provoke thought, and give rise to discussion. In his works, Pihl
applies the colours to the canvas in many layers, allowing a view
of the traces of the working process. The resulting visual world,
which in its play of light and colour shows us the nature of
perception, is now summarized for the first time in a comprehensive
publication.
