"The Line" Exhibition at Heidi Horten Collection: Explore Visual Art's Fundamental Element

An exhibition exploring the line as a fundamental element in visual art, examining its role from subjective gesture to constructive precision. It showcases how artists utilize the line across traditional genre boundaries to create artistic worlds and respond to contemporary realities.

The exhibition "The Line" at the Heidi Horten Collection investigates the line as one of the most fundamental elements of visual art. It moves between subjective gesture and constructive precision, demonstrating how the line structures surface and space, defines form, creates contour and boundary, and can both connect and separate. As the trace of a movement, it possesses the capacity to describe reality, create illusion, and render the imaginary visible. Starting from drawing as the classical medium of the line, the exhibition explores its artistic potential through selected works from the Heidi Horten Collection as well as contemporary positions. It illustrates how artists employ the line beyond traditional genre boundaries as an independent means of expression to create artistic worlds and respond to the realities of their time. The featured artists expand the line into space, presenting it as a medium for reflecting on social and political realities, with an intervention by Chiharu Shiota transforming the line into a three-dimensional form.
