Exhibition summary

In her exhibition 'Unconditional', Sabine Hertig explores the collage as a dynamic mode of thinking and acting that transcends traditional boundaries between media and genres. Featuring monumental new works alongside smaller series, the artist challenges viewers to reconsider the relationship between fragment and whole, original and reproduction.

Curatorial context

Sabine Hertig's exhibition 'Unconditional' presents a deep dive into her multifaceted practice, where collage serves not merely as a technique but as an essential form of intellectual inquiry. The exhibition showcases her latest monumental collages, alongside series such as 'Room (reflexion)' and 'Possibilities', which integrate drawing and photographic fragments to question the nature of the artistic process and the viewer's perception. By weaving together disparate elements—from architectural motifs to archival references—Hertig creates immersive, non-unified environments that invite visitors to participate in a sophisticated play of formal and contextual shifts. Central to the exhibition is the artist’s 'Mirror' series and 'Landscape' cycle, where she pushes the boundaries between painting and collage, incorporating new materials like sandpaper to reveal layers of images. The work is marked by a deliberate 'unconditional' attitude, rejecting rigid categorization and embracing the tension between figuration and abstraction. The exhibition also features a unique collaboration with musician Fritz Hauser, resulting in an audio experience that connects the physical labor of the artist's studio directly to the visual works on display, emphasizing the exhibition's thematic focus on the sound and materiality of art.
