About
Katharina Grosse is a German visual artist. She is known for her large-scale, site-related installations to create immersive visual experiences. Grosse's work employs a use of architecture, sculpture and painting.
There is no boundary between reality and imagination. To imagine is to realize. My pictures are prototypes of this recognition; they try out—and dramatically compress—the characteristics of reality. I build prototypes of the imagination so that they can be reenacted and applied to other fields of endeavor.
—Katharina Grosse
Spatial tensions rise through shifts in chromatic temperature, and with stencils, folds, and other tools she allows for new patterns to emerge. Using stencils to either filter or completely block out areas of negative space, she creates opaque fields to be interrupted by solid geometries and ambiguous transparencies.
This will be a 2-week project.
Week 1 - Exploring Possibilites
Week 2 - Three-Dimensional Objects
Warm-up + Project
We will begin with creating some small studies, focusing on experimenting with color, flow, and negative spaces. Think about how you might move color around your warm-up piece.
move paint by blowing through a straw or using a tool to splatter
drag, push, or smear materials or pigment on your surface
Please feel free to play with other tools in addition to the medium you have chosen to work with for your warm-up.
Consider using stencils, folding cutting, and manipulation of your substrate or even collage.
Let go of control being mindful that new directions and new discoveries may emerge.
These experiments will lead to a more focused final project.
