                              Die 'Cuts' entstehen im urbanen Raum und

                              finden sich „cuts“ aus der Bornholmer
                              Straße, der Leipziger Straße und der

                              Fernsehturmturm auf den Scheiben
                              auftauchten. <br>
                              Nicht nur mit den 'Cuts' forscht Birgit
                              Hölmer nach neuen Möglichkeiten von
                              Zeichnung. Die Graphitzeichnungen, vor Ort
                              im Wald gezeichnet auf schwarzem Papier,
                              sind nur von einem bestimmten Blickpunkt

                              künstlerischer Position- beide vor Ort
                              Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum
                              realisieren. Beide haben einen engen Bezug
                              zum Lebens- und Arbeitsort Neukölln. Im

                                    panes of peep windows are
                                    transformed into supports. For her
                                    "cuts", Hölmer works with scraps of
                                    adhesive tape from a print shop, as
                                    they are produced when stickers are
                                    cut to size. Neglected leftovers, in
                                    other words, that would otherwise be
                                    swept off the table. But the fact
                                    that strong colours cavort on the
                                    thin, long strips and traces of
                                    graphic patterns emerge is caught by
                                    Hölmer's gaze and she dresses the
                                    material in a new appearance by
                                    impromptu composing the collected
                                    strips into different formations.

                                    and 3-D effects, in Hölmer's work it
                                    is the often invisible glass that
                                    allows her arrangements to float
                                    before the eye as cylindrical
                                    outlines or in a-geometric
                                    arrangements."<br>

                                    <br>
                                    The 'cuts' are created in urban
                                    space and without prior sketches.
                                    Many years of practical experience
                                    enable Hölmer to improvise quickly
                                    according to a particular
                                    environment. When selecting and
                                    arranging the adhesive strips, she
                                    always refers to the respective
                                    situation and creates
                                    correspondences with the scenery
                                    mirrored on the shop window. Hölmer
                                    traditionally puts her "cuts" on the
                                    windows of empty shops in the city,
                                    spontaneously and without warning.
                                    So you can encounter them by chance
                                    or retrace them later on
                                    birgithoelmer.blogspot.com. In this
                                    archive of urban interventions, you
                                    can find 'cuts' from Bornholmer
                                    Straße, Leipziger Straße and
                                    Hermannstraße or those that appeared
                                    on the windows of the TV tower in
                                    2017.<br>
                                    It is not only with the 'cuts' that
                                    Birgit Hölmer explores new
                                    possibilities of drawing. The
                                    graphite drawings, drawn on site in
                                    the forest on black paper, can only
                                    be seen in their entirety from a
                                    certain vantage point in indirect
                                    light.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    The exhibition "Surfaces" is part of
                                    the project "Flying Change". With
                                    Silvia Lorenz and Birgit Hölmer, we
                                    present two artists who - each with
                                    a very different artistic position -
                                    both realise on-site interventions
                                    in public space. Both have a close
                                    connection to the place where they
                                    live and work in Neukölln. In
                                    October, we showed "Desert Days":
                                    spatial installation, sculpture and
                                    drawing by Silvia Lorenz.<br>
