With her expansive spatial drawings, Monika Grzymala has developed a unique, unusual approach to contemporary drawing and installation art. Raumzeichnung (Reflection), the work she is creating site specifically for Fabrica will use more than eight kilometers of silver-mirrored tape to transform, re-imagine and re-draw Fabrica’s interior.
This ephemeral and temporary installation responds to the theme of a mutable and changing landscape, using drawing in its most expanded form to explore our psychological and aesthetic relationship to the landscapes that surround us.
This exhibition forms part of Time and Place, a European-funded cross-border collaboration project led by Fabrica and featuring five cultural partners in the UK and France. It responds to Changing Landscape, one of the central themes of the project.
Time and Place has been selected in the framework of the Interreg IVA France (Channel) – England cross-border European cooperation programme, part-financed by the ERDF.
About The Artist
Monika Grzymala was born in Zabrze in Poland in 1970 but has lived in Germany since she was a child. She currently lives and works in Berlin. She studied stone sculpture and restoration until an encounter with a teacher, who observed that she seemed more interested in the space between her works than the works themselves, sent her in a new direction. Her work is now largely focused on the line, on spatial drawing (Raumzeichnung) installations and papermaking.
