Looking at Earth from a Great Distance: The Space-Basement Duality Show

The exhibition Space-Basement Duality Show presents Out of the Blue Sculptural Works by Katharina Trudzinski and Earth View Paintings by Holger Pohl in a Berlin basement.

Katharina's aesthetic solutions appear to come out of nowhere: they are unexpected visitors to our reality. The large sculptures carefully balance physical forces with humor. Their lively forms and characters become animated in the viewer's mind.

Holger's works are part of his Clouds over Cairo series. They depict his fairly humorous and conceptual approach to painting. As he himself says:
"Looking at Earth from a great distance is said to liberate thinking and perception. Everything becomes small and vulnerable. Meaning only coexists with context. In this sense, the Pyramids of Giza are symbols of the greatness of the human species. A masterly example of megalomania. It can be seen from space! Yes. It can be seen from space. And from here, very easy to paint."

In their first ever collaborative duo show, the works of Holger Pohl and Katharina Trudzinski interact playfully within the architectural space oddity of a basement. The venue offers a naturally contradictory setting for both artistic approaches. As much as the narrow basement plays counterpoint to Katharina's light interstellar sculptural interventions, it also provides a scintillating contrast to Holger's installation of large scale paintings looking down on the Earth.
