2005 Birgit Antoni
18 February to 11 May 2005
Birgit Antoni – Paintings
Cabinet Exhibition »…in the window«
Alongside Kolumba’s own collection of Coptic textiles, which document the joy of decoration and ornamentation bequeathed to us by antiquity, we are featuring as part of our series “... in the Window” paintings by the Cologne artist Birgit Antoni. For many years she has experimented with the possibilities derived from the process of repeatedly drawing circles by hand. Through this successive movement she “writes” the patterns to which she reacts with colours according to intrinsic rules. This multi-layered colourfulness creates ornamental spaces which appear as details of a completely abstract room. A booklet with 14 drawings has been published to accompany the exhibition.
