Statement:
In 2022 and due to difficult conditions for interpersonal exchange, the artist Matthias Körner (born 1954 Cottbus) initiated an international art campaign. He sent conventional paper coasters to artists around the world by post and – in exchange for his own coasters created using the drypoint technique – asked for the copies to be returned with individual artistic designs.///
The exhibition presents the results of the art campaign for the first time. The response is impressive: A total of 75 artists from 19 countries took part in the campaign. The resulting works are now being presented for the first time in this exhibition.
The variety of themes and artistic forms of expression could hardly be more extensive: some critically examine the social and political circumstances in their creative environments, while others focus on motifs from their personal everyday world.
Many artists, in turn, test the possibilities of shapes, colors and materials to create compositions that go beyond representationalism.
