The exhibition focuses on drawing as a medium of differentiation and structuring, as well as its function as draft, sketch, pattern or graffiti. All representative elements are repealed from Klaus Jörre’s canvases and the act of painting is reduced to structuring the images’ surface.

On the rise: Andrea Romano
We met in Paris the Italian artist Andrea Romano, currently having his solo show in at Gaudel de Stampa gallery, in Belleville.

(Un)certainty Culture: Oh Europe
The end draws near. The downfall of the euro, the collapse of the EU, the entire global economy and probably also the end of Western civilisation are imminent. And have been for so long that “imminent” is barely the right word. As enthusiastic about end time scenarios as ever, the magazine Spiegel presented the inevitable downfall during the last year with melting, cracking or shattering euro coins on no less than six of its covers.
