Between 30 November and 8 December, we will host Paul Schwer in the UGM Studio. For nearly 20 years, Schwer has been working in the expanded field of the king's discipline of art, painting. He often explores the context in which he installs his art works. His objects, made from artificial materials, relate to the environment in which he exhibits. The artist has had a lot of experience with working in very different artistic and cultural contexts from Istanbul to Düsseldorf, and yet again he always finds a different way to interact with each new city. He has visited Maribor twice so far, and was amazed by the city’s architecture, especially the variety of architectural styles that are tangled in a relatively small city surface.
He was researching, reading and collecting data about Maribor's architecture and decided to create an installation that will connect not only with the buildings but also with the people. He is interested in the experience of the local citizens, all of us, who know the city and its hidden gems, but also flaws, unrealized and unfinished projects, moments of hope and vision.
In the days prior to the exhibition opening, he will work in UGM Studio and wants to invite us to contribute to his installation. Join him on Wednesday, 7 November at 17:00 as he gathers your photos that will later be included in the installation The Window.
KINDLY INVITED!
