Ich zeichne die Zeit, du malst den Moment | Atelier vagabond
Je dessine le temps, tu peins l’instant | Atelier vagabond

Recherchen über Licht, Farbe, Strich und Linie

Ulrike Seyboth (b. Schneeberg, 1970; lives and works in Berlin and Languedoc) explores the making of paintings as a complex practice, from seismographic and diaristic sketches of ephemeral travel impressions to large works on paper, collages, and expansive oil paintings. Ingo Fröhlich (b. 1966, raised on Norderney; lives and works in Berlin and Languedoc) is a sculptor and draftsman. His work are graphic analyses. Originating in gestural and rhythmic processes, they render movement, time, and interspaces. In this collaborative project, the two artists probe the tensions between plenitude and vacancy on the canvas and paper and in three dimensions.

Research stays and travels—the Atelier vagabond—are a key source of inspiration for the two and provide the initial spark for their joint projects. That was true of this book, which was created in connection with a pair of shows at the Musées de Sens (Burgundy, France) and Guardini Galerie, Berlin. Documenting both exhibitions, it also contains essays by Frizzi Krella and Robert Kudielka and a conversation with the artists.
