Andreas' Room

Painting with light and shadows, compositions, proportions, formal language, brushwork, rhythm, materiality, and more can be analysed, “drawn,” and thus internalized, inscribed in one’s own body, through the joyful tracing of a form. Tracing is an intensive process of exploration, perception, and interpretation.

Andreas' Room features, among other things, two heavy wooden pedestals, each holding a glass plate. The two elements are modelled on the legendary exhibition design of architect Lina Bo Bardi. 
They offer countless possibilities for drawing:

• Stand opposite each other, with the glass plate in the middle. Stretch parchment paper over the glass surface and draw each other at the same time.
   
• Take a picture, photo, mobile phone photo, copy, or drawing and tape it to the back of the glass so that you can see the front of the image through the glass surface when standing in front. Now, cover your side of the glass with parchment paper and begin tracing the image.
   
• Sit on the steps and look into the mirror tile mounted there. Draw yourself.
   
• Combine and expand your drawings as you wish – you can also draw hands, eyes, ears, hair, etc., plants, objects.

Or can you come up with something else on your own?

You can hang your creations on the metal wires above the steps in the room or take them with you.
