Exhibition in St. Matthew's Church

Norbert Schwontkowski is one of the most important contemporary painters in Germany. Curated by Anna-Catharina Gebbers, the exhibition of the artist, who died in 2013, takes a sketch by Norbert Schwontkowski as the starting point for a dialogue between the works of Schwontkowski, Leiko Ikemura, Ju Young Kim, and Nicole Wermers.



The exhibition focuses on concepts of being on the move and spaces of transfer: states and places of transition, spaces that are not conceived as final destinations, but as intermediate stations, as places of waiting, reflection, and change.


Permanent movement, the constant on-the-go in the face of a horizonless boundlessness, flow into Schwontkowski's motifs. Light metaphorically guides the formal, poetic, and humorous search for location and insight.
