abc - art berlin contemporary - "about painting"
From 07-11 September 2011 abc art berlin contemporary will address the topic of painting. 'about painting' will survey contemporary paiting practices, presenting not only works on paper or canvas, but also videos, photographs and sculptures that deal with the classical medium.
Twenty years ago, few exhibitions focused on painting specifically as the enduring influence of conceptual art tended to focus attention on issues of framing, rather than pictures. The legacy of these conceptual practices still looms large in contemporary art practices, including much recent painting, which is characterized by an intense reflection of the medium and its history. The combination of critical and at the same time confident use of apaint is a defining feature of a wide variety of current artistic practices that deal with pictures either on the wall, or in space.
