Monika Grzymala und Katharina Hinsberg

The shared medium of Katharina Hinsberg and Monika Grzymala is drawing. The exploration of the line is central to both of their work. Many of their artworks transcend the traditional boundaries of the genre and, in their dynamic reach, take on an almost sculptural quality. While Katharina Hinsberg’s lines dissect space with precision clarity, Monika Grzymala’s imposing bundles of lines penetrate the space with an eruptive power. The two artistic approaches are being shown together for the first time in the joint exhibition Between a Line at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The accompanying catalog was created through an ongoing dialogue between the two artists. Two sketchbooks formed the basis; the artists worked in these alternately, each visually “interrupting” one another, constantly striving to confront their colleague‘s preliminary drawing work with their own understanding of the line, and exploring their artistic potential through a collaborative practice.
