Paper frequently serves as a material support for drawing and painting. However, in this exhibition it is presented, above all, in its diverse range of material properties and possibilities of physical transformation. With the use of DIN format print papers, large sheets of paper, rolls of paper, transparent paper, everyday scraps of paper, handmade papers, robust cardboard packing, corrugated and other paper boards, this familiar material exists already in extreme variety. All the more varied are the related actions which transform the conventional flatness of paper into physical presences. This can extend from cautious contact, through to the damaging and destruction of paper, from apparently incidental spontaneous interventions, to repetitive acts. Some in turn follow a spatially related concept or alter the given material in its chemical constituents. By meanings of drawing, printing or painting on the surfaces contradictory trails can be laid down which provoke perceptual irritation. In so much as the use of paper is anchored in all areas of culture, from industrial to everyday use, the artists approach to paper infiltrates and subverts habits of seeing and thinking - in works which are bound by the constant fragility of the material and through complex simplicity of treatment.
