BÄRBEL LANGE
Doppellinien
Bärbel Lange creates artworks that are largely independent of current art discourses and impressive in their uniqueness. Depictions of animals play a central role in her practice: with clear lines and a twodimensional painting technique, she creates characteristic creatures that spread out on paper and cardboard, furniture and meter-long strips of fleece. In this way, the artist creates a cosmos in which only the creatures she has invented exist.
“THE DOUBLE LINE MEANS THE INNER LIFE. THE SOUL. THAT THEY ARE ALSO WARMED. THE OUTSIDE IS THE FUR. THE THICK FUR. THAT ALSO PROTECTS.”
For her exhibition at the Kunstverein Braunschweig, Bärbel Lange is collaborating with raumlaborberlin.
Bärbel Lange is an artist in the studio of the Kunsthaus KAT18 since 2014 and a member of X-SÜD in Cologne. Together with raumlaborberlin, she is involved in the planning and realization of the Inclusive Kunsthaus Kalk. Her works have been shown at Kolumba, Cologne (2022), Ausstellungshaus Spoerri, Hadersdorf (2021), the Royal Academy, London (2021) and the Temporary Gallery, Cologne (2019), among others.
SPECIAL GUEST
Since 2015, artists have been inviting guests to complement or comment on the exhibition. We are delighted that Bärbel Lange has chosen the artist Firat Tagal, whose large-format paintings deal with themes of pop culture and architecture.
