German artist Paul Klee says: “Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes visible.”
The two artists have increasingly collaborated as curators for more than 20 years,
organizing and curating exhibitions both in Austria and abroad. Each of them works as an
artist, and the exhibition planned in Ruse allows both artists to exhibit together, reflecting
their intensive collaboration over the past 25 years in the exciting spaces of the Ruse Art
Gallery.
The title (in)visible shift refers, on the one hand, to the temporal shift in the artists’
practice and collaboration, and on the other, to current developments in the broader
context of politics, the world, and regional dynamics. Often, it is what is not visible at first
glance—moments and visual positions—that leave a lasting impression.
The exhibition will examine the demands and subtleties of the viewing experience and
included works that test the limits of perception. Drawing attention to what is often
unnoticed at first glance, may heighten our awareness of inconspicuous details in the
artists’ materials or in mundane objects.
