The exhibition is supported by Stiftung Kunstfonds. A catalog will be published.

For half a millennium, modern European painting told stories, parables and legends. Then development began to race, and modernity moved focussed on shock and emotional overwhelming.

The longing for the stories remained and is expressed today in cinematic epics, the sprawling video installations and projects of the curated large-scale exhibitions and the scenarios of media influencers.

The artists of the “> 1000 Words” exhibition take up this longing. They tell complex, virtuoso - and amazingly traditional. They create elaborate compositions, use spatial and color perspectives, maintain anatomical correctness, and follow principles of painting technology.

When digital natives encounter these completely analog works, they are fascinated. “Painted everything? By hand?? How does that work ???“ The Instagram generation has routine in dealing with complex codes and stories and a passion for the encrypted. Long contemplation, passionate discussions, surprising interpretations - we have experienced all of this during past exhibitions.

Our show "> 1000 Words" presents six artists: Ellen Akimoto (* 1988), Undine Bandelin (* 1980), Ivana de Vivanco (* 1989), Jonathan Kraus (* 1989), Nguyen Xuan Huy (* 1976) and Marten Schädlich (* 1986).
