Monika Jarecka & Christl Mudrak | one to one
Monika Jarecka
Painting is closely linked to the impossibility of repetition. Originality, handwriting, processuality, subjectivity and temporal delay are characteristic of her work.
Monika Jarecka's works are created on canvases and as installative paintings in the room directly on the wall. She develops instructions according to which she acts for the respective series of pictures or spatial work, opening up a room for manoeuvre within which something is made possible.
In one of the rooms of the Galerie Hinten, the work "Double" was created on site and before the opening of the exhibition with the following instructions:
Two canvases, placed opposite each other in the room, are painted one after the other with the same intention and colour.
Acrylic paint is applied over the entire surface and then generously removed with water.
The action is not limited in time.
The action is recorded by a camera.
Christl Mudrak is working on a wall drawing for the exhibition using blue paper, a kind of self-copying blue-coated paper. She uses the artistic means of mirroring and repetitive gestures to create a hand drawing in the gallery space.
The spatial requirements of the small trapezoidal space of the Galerie Hinten are transferred to contact copies.
