With Transition Collectors Agenda kicks off its autumn exhibition program presenting two international contemporary positions, Regine Schumann and Jonny Niesche, whose work is moving between dramatic radiance and minimalist purity. The show explores the artists’ interest in transitionary movement, the change of state from one to another and the associated atmospheric transformation through color, light and space. It is the first time the two artists are showing together.
In the artistic practice of both Schumann and Niesche the clarity of form gives enormous space to color, and vice-versa. Both hold an appreciation for the great pioneers of light art such as Dan Flavin, Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, Keith Sonnier or James Turrell. Unlike some of the aforementioned artists, whose work may appear rather static and monumental, the works by Schumann and Niesche however are relying rather on dynamic experience as they are subject to constant change.
At the same time, Zeller van Almsick are opening Body Lotion, a contribution to this year’s curated_by gallery festival.
