1.-3.11.2024 Galerie Petra Seiser präsentiert Isabella Kohlhuber

ARTISSIMA TURIN, Messe vom 1. – 3. November 2024
Eröffnung am Donnerstag, dem 31. Oktober 2024

Isabella Kohlhuber’s booth concept “We make the rules as we go along” questions the rules of art production by leaving open the space between artistic production and exhibition making – presenting an installation that shows the concepts and tools of its production. Here, the model of an artist’s studio as a performative work is presented inviting the visitors to interact by printing their version of the work.

Kohlhuber’s work revolves around the theme of language, with a focus on the processes of constructing, reading, and interpreting written signs. Over the past fifteen years, she has developed a family of quasi-typographic characters called „Bastards“, which stand on the threshold of image and text. They are composed using a paper collage technique, then digitized and transferred to laser-cut stencils.
