WERKRaum Exhibition + Vernissage // Lea Hoffbauer + Margarita Mednikova – leaking

It drips and flows when Lea Hoffbauer builds up her pictures layer by layer. Ink and oil make their way through chalk grounds and rabbit glue. The works are only shown once they have solidified, a snapshot of the movements of the liquids used.

Margarita Mednikova’s carpets use the motif of drops of blood to explore narratives and reflections on human relationships, conflicts and historical events, which through their symbolism stand for life, pain, violence and injustice.

In the GEH8 workroom, two artistic approaches are thus brought together, which move between narrative-free material investigation and content-related examination.

Vernissage: Friday, April 19, 2024, 3-8 p.m.
Duration of the exhibition: April 19 – May 26, 2024
Where: GEH8 WERKRaum
Opening hours: Visits to the workroom by appointment or can be viewed at any time through the window on Gehestraße
