Summary:
"Kerstin Bratsch--Innovation" is the first comprehensive exhibition of the Hamburg-born and New York-based painter. In Bratsch's work, the influences of the digital age are coupled, in a unique manner, with a reflection on art-historical traditions. Her complex and consistent work oscillates between a conceptual analysis of painting and a devotion of painterly processes. With around 60 large-scale paintings on paper and Mylar film, and in the marbling technique, more than 40 handmade glass works, numerous videos, two slide projections, a large installation, as well as several in situ interventions, the exhibition provides a first comprehensive overview of the artist's painterly practice since 2006.
