Author Description

"Mo(ve)ment" focuses on some decisive elementals of art-making and mashes them up against similar kinds of basics of art-seeing. Movement and the moment, the twinkling of an eye, will need to be understood in this process as both literal and metaphorical terms. Primarily, and above all, they mark polar conditions of physical action. The hand that places a line on paper, that shapes the soft, moist clay, that moves as a trace through space or with a brush across a canvass. Movement and the eye's shutter speed are, at the same time also, the preconditions of any thinking process. "Mo(ve)ment" conjoins four artistic positions which, initially, are connected only by the absolutely elementary gestures of their individual media - drawings by Silvia Bächli, plaster and clay sculptures by Heinz Breloh, dance by Anna Huber and paintings by David Reed.
